The Cardinals dropped a lot of defenders into coverage and did a good job of masking their intentions pre-snap. Arizona played Cover 4 on 37.5% of Lamar Jackson’s dropbacks and Cover 1 28.1% of the time, per Next Gen Stats.
The Cardinals had less than four rushers on six plays, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but it was nearly 20% of the Ravens’ dropbacks. Conversely, the Ravens never sent fewer than four pass rushers on any of the Cardinals’ 39 dropbacks.
This clouded the picture for Jackson and made for tighter throwing windows, which led him to hold the ball longer at times and more incompletions.
