Lamar Jackson’s impressive QBR in NFL week 14

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson finished with a QBR of 70.2 and RTG of 92.8 in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Rams. 

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson connected with seven different receivers, finished with a QBR of 70.2, and RTG of 92.8 in Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Sure, the game-winning punt return by Tylan Wallace will flood headlines Monday morning but Jackson’s precision passing deserves high-acclaim after his week 14 performance.

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken knew he’d needed to match the Rams’ offense with explosive passing plays and he delivered. Both wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers were targeted a combined 20 times with both players recording touchdowns. Monken’s play-calling was exceptional, getting Jackson in rhythm early with a 46-yard touchdown pass to Beckham Jr. that sent shock waves through M&T Bank Stadium.

Despite trailing 28-23 with under a 1:00 min left in regulation, Jackson showed great composure, completing seven passes on a 13-play scoring drive that ended in a touchdown pass to Flowers. Jackson finished with 316 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 70 rush yards on the afternoon.

Now sitting at 10-3, the Ravens will prepare for the Jaguars in week 15. They now hold a two-game lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC playoff picture.
