Recency bias is a cognitive bias that convinces us that new information is more valuable and important than older information. Apply this bias to the Ravens and suddenly fans are convinced that Trace McSorley is a better passer than Lamar Jackson, will soon supplant the team’s starter and is now drawing comparisons to Drew Brees.
There’s no denying McSorley’s solid performance against the Eagles on the road. What made the performance even more impressive is the former Nittany Lion’s ability to bounce back from a bad performance.
