Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson is prepping to make the sixth start of his career. The Los Angeles Chargers present a different challenge than he’s had in the past.
“The speed,” Jackson said on Wednesday. “I feel like that’s going to be the fastest team we face all season. We’re just preparing right now.”
Los Angeles have the highest ranked defense in points allowed (ninth) and yards allowed (eighth) that the rookie has faced. Specifically, the Chargers are stout in stopping the run, having allowed just 1,452 yards during the season — ranking ninth in the NFL.
