Why Lamar Jackson has struggled against Steelers

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Three years ago, Baltimore Ravens cornerback Arthur Maulet was with the Pittsburgh Steelers and sat in the meeting room as they prepared to play quarterback Lamar Jackson.

"Do you want me to tell you that secret?" Maulet said this week.

He went on to describe how the Steelers focused on stopping Jackson on the run option plays. He acknowledged that the game plan may have changed since he was released in May 2023, later joining the AFC North rival Ravens. But Jackson has changed over the years, too.
