Baltimore was in an awful position on TNF vs. the Bengals, losing by 14 points in the 2nd half with problems in defense.
So, what was the only option for them to win the match? Lamar Jackson showing that he is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Lamar Jackson already has as many pass TDs this season as he did in his MVP campaign last year 😱

Lamar produced the best 4th quarter of his career, leading Baltimore to a 35-34 win. In recording a perfect 158.3 passer rating in the 4th quarter, Jackson threw for 197 yards and 3 TDs – both personal highs in the 4th quarter – to record a campaign sweep of Cincinnati and save the league’s worst pass defense for another game.
Despite the fact that Baltimore’s defense allowed 470 yards and 5 TDs, supporters believed that Lamar could win the game.
“Jackson is special, but we’re like the little bros at the moment,” Baltimore CB Marlon Humphrey admitted on the defense. Lamar is carrying the team.”
The reigning league Most Valuable Player had to shake off his worst beginning of a campaign. After throwing for 71 yards in the 1st half, Lamar started to show his best when his team faced 14 14-point deficit in the 3rd quarter.
