Chiefs’, Ravens’ players to watch: Keep an eye on Lamar Jackson, Anthony Hitchens

For the Chiefs to be successful on Sunday, they’ll have to focus on limiting Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on the ground. Here’s who you should be watching.

No. 8 Lamar Jackson, QB

21 years old, 6-2, 212 pounds, 1st season

Chiefs defensive coordinator Bob Sutton said he’s never faced a quarterback as fast as Baltimore’s rookie. The Chiefs have struggled mightily against the run this season, and Jackson’s wheels will present a big problem for this defense. Jackson, undefeated in three starts, is averaging 88 rushing yards in the last three games. He’s not the most polished passer — completing 60 percent of his passes in three starts — but he hasn’t needed to be with the Ravens’ game plan.
