The Baltimore Ravens rattled off their fifth straight win after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 41-31. Below are the reactions from the Beatdown staff.
In 24 games against NFC opponents, Lamar Jackson now has a 23-1 record. It’s unbridled what he does against the opposing conference. And for him to obliterate the Buccaneers’ defense to the tune of five passing touchdowns, from short, wise tosses to players in space to a rainbow ball to Rashod Bateman, it’s impeccable.
Speaking of Bateman, we’re finally seeing his emergence. His route-running, which made him a first-round pick, has been on full display and Jackson’s capitalizing on connecting with him.
