Lamar Jackson ranks No. 4 in the NFL in total passing yards

Quality over quantity should be a moniker associated with Baltimore Ravens QB Jackson who ranks No. 4 in the NFL in total passing yards.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had a heroic day on Christmas yet only needed 15 total passing attempts to do so. Ironically, the low volume of pass attempts didn’t stop Jackson from tallying two passing touchdowns and finishing with a rating of 143.9 on the afternoon.


Quality over quantity should be a moniker associated with Jackson who ranks No. 4 in the NFL in total passing yards. More impressively, Jackson ranks all the way at No. 15 in total passing attempts.

Furthermore, it’s not that Jackson needs a high volume of passing attempts to keep the chains moving and yield chunk plays. Finishing with an average of 11.2 yards per attempt Wednesday, Jackson had the Houston Texans on their heels the entire game.


It’s literally the dual-threat ability of Jackson that makes the offense so dynamic for the Ravens. However, when offensive coordinator Todd Monken abandons the run, he puts Jackson is very predictable passing scenarios offsetting the entire flow of the team.

Critics have to be impressed with the consistency Jackson has played with this season. The Ravens definitely have a chance to push into the post-season with their eyes on the Lombardi Trophy.

Ravens have a catch-22 yet no one can catch 22: Derrick Henry is him

Whenever Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry gets 20 or more carries, the team offense is usually right on schedule and opponents tremble.

Whenever Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry gets 20 or more carries, the team’s offense is usually right on schedule. Henry recorded 140 rushing yards on 24 carries versus the Los Angeles Chargers, and his performance led to a well-needed week 12 win on Monday Night.

The formula seems obvious, yet Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken has complicated the apparent dynamics of run-first and pass-last. In the Ravens’ week 11 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Henry had just 13 carries. Doubling his carries in week 12 increased his offensive production and led to an outpouring of 30 offensive points.

The Ravens’ week 12 win is worthy of celebration, but their 8-4 season start does not truly reflect the team’s potential. Congratulations to John Harbaugh for defeating his little brother Jim Harbaugh on Monday Night Football, but the Ravens have bigger fish to fry in 2024.

With a Steelers loss in week 12, the Ravens still have a shot at the AFC North. However, to regain ground. They must continue prioritizing Henry for the rest of the season. If the playoffs started today, they’d be No. 5 in the AFC standings.
