The partnership between Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry has turned an already impressive offense into an overpowering one in Baltimore. That’s been enough to help the Ravens overcome some real slippage on the other side of the ball. Jackson leads the league with a passer rating of 120.7. He's thrown 20 touchdown passes and only two interceptions.

“It’s a pick-your-poison offense, so based on what the defense is giving me, certain guys might have a day,” Jackson said. “It’s really based on the defense of how they are feeling. ‘Who’s this offense tilting towards?’ But all of the great guys we have, it could be the tight ends one game, it might just be the running backs one game. You really never know.”Cardinals’ 3-game winning streak turns them into buyers at the trade deadlineWhere the Ravens have struggled is on defense.
Jackson may very well contend for another MVP, but this team isn’t quite as well-rounded as the group that posted the league’s best regular-season record a season ago. If the Ravens do show improvement on defense, this could be Jackson’s year to break through and reach the Super Bowl.Baltimore has averaged at least 6 yards per play in all nine games this season, tying the 2000 St. Louis Rams for the longest streak at any point in a season.
