Steelers Failed To Put Game In Lamar Jackson’s Hands, Heyward Says: Didn’t ‘Make Them One-Dimensional’

For just the second time in his career, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has beaten the Steelers. And this time, he actually did it against a starting quarterback, rather than a backup’s backup. Yes, Jackson outgunned Russell Wilson, but he had plenty of ammunition.

Despite the fact that Jackson has shown immense strides as a passer, the Steelers still wanted him to throw. Not that that even isn’t the plan—failing that, the other team is running the ball on you. But the Steelers also allowed Derrick Henry to run all over them, so their plan failed.
