Bill Belichick watching Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson’s ‘best’ play

The Baltimore Ravens caught fire, winning four straight games after their 30-23 victory over the Washington Commanders.

Among those impressed by what they saw with the Ravens is eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Belichick. Belichick highlighted the play of Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and how he has improved in the passing game.

“I think Lamar did a great job this year,” Belichick said. “The best I’ve ever seen him in terms of looking downfield when he gets time in the pocket. It’s not just pulling down and running. It’s pulling down and looking downfield. He’s made a lot of throws downfield while moving around the field. perimeter.”

Jackson threw for 1,529 yards, 10 touchdowns and two interceptions this season. The two-time MVP’s performance in the passing game has been especially impressive over the last two games, as he has thrown for 671 yards, five touchdowns and an interception that landed in the hands of tight end Mark Andrews.

The running game has also been dominant, as Baltimore has rushed for at least 175 yards in every game during its winning streak. Former All-Pro running back Derrick Henry has been the focal point on the ground, averaging 143.5 rushing yards and rushing for six touchdowns in the Ravens’ last four games. Henry has rushed for 704 yards and eight touchdowns this season.

Along with Henry’s play, Belichick lamented the team’s blocking in the run game.

“The running game has been really good for the Ravens,” Belichick said. “They’re really good at the point of attack, you know, with (Pat Richard) and what they’re doing at the end of the line of scrimmage, but they got a lot of plays like that on cutback runs. And I think what you’re seeing is that everybody on the offensive line, and even the backside lineman and the backside receivers, are really hustling and blocking hard, because they know that the guy that has the ball can bring it. her back to the backside, and every block is important.”

The Ravens averaged 33.5 points and 471.75 yards per game during their four-game winning streak.
