Not only did the Baltimore Ravens defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in style on Monday, but they also surged to the top of the NFL in total points per game.

Quarterback Lamar Jackson has been superhuman lately and needed just 22 pass attempts, and nine carries to total five touchdowns Monday night.
Jackson’s entourage includes tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, running backs Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, and lastly, wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
Any and every defensive tactic thrown at the Ravens can be easily countered due to the plethora of options they have in personnel.
It’s a Jackson 5 🔥❗@Lj_era8 5 TD passes from the dub

When opponents crowd the box, Jackson can target Bateman and Flowers on deep routes like we saw Monday. Yet, when defenses show two-high safeties, Jackson can target pass catchers at the intermediate and short level or target underneath voids with HB screen plays.
Ultimately, the team’s plush personnel and offensive coordinator Todd Monken’s mastermind are currently fueling its success on offense. The team has looked pretty much unstoppable on offense through six weeks.
