The Jets have won four their last five games, but they haven’t played anyone as good as the 11-2 Ravens. That will change Thursday night in Baltimore.

With a win, the Ravens would clinch the AFC North and hold firm position of the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoff race. The Jets are banged up and will most likely be shorthanded. However, their run defense may present a problem for Lamar Jackson and company, although Jackson is nursing an injury himself.

What should Jets fans be aware of before Gang Green takes the field this weekend? Let’s take a look at some pregame storylines to keep an eye on.

Lamar Jackson vs. Jets Run Defense

Lamar Jackon has set the NFL ablaze with his creative play in 2019.

A star in the making, Jackson is only 23 yards short of setting the single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback. Michael Vick set the record at 1,039 yards back in 2006. Baltimore is averaging 200.9 yards per game on the ground.

The Jets, however, boast the league’s No. 2 rushing defense led by Steve McLendon, Foley Fatukasi, Kyle Phillips, Nathan Shepherd and Quinnen Williams. The Jets allow 75.6 yards rushing per outing. New York dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 in total rushing defense after giving up 122 yards to Miami last Sunday, but the Jets are allowing a league-low 3.03 yards per carry.

With the Jets defense and Jackson banged up, it will be interesting to see who has the edge on the ground.
