While Lamar Jackson is extremely impressive, there’s more to football than just one player. The reason for Jackson’s individual successes is because he works in an offensive system that allows him to do so. That system is run by Baltimore offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who held that same job with the Bills.

Roman, 47, held that role with the Bills under head coach Rex Ryan. He was curiously fired in September 2016. That came after his offense put up 31 points in a 37-31 loss to the Jets. After that, Roman landed with the Ravens in assistant roles until becoming their full-time offensive coordinator this year.

As mentioned, the Ravens offense is the top-scoring unit in the NFL. In terms of overall yards, the Ravens average 420.8 yards per game, the second-most in the NFL. But there is good news: the Bills already beat the top-overall offense in the Cowboys just this past week.
