Jackson Sacked Twice, Ravens' Opening Drive Stalls: A Tale of Two Quarterbacks
Man, did you see that opening drive for the Ravens? Talk about a bummer. Lamar Jackson was looking sharp early on, but then bam! He got sacked twice in a row, and the whole thing just fizzled out.
It was like watching a rollercoaster go straight up, then suddenly screech to a halt. The Ravens were rolling, with Jackson throwing darts and the running game looking explosive. You could feel the energy in the stadium.
But then the sacks happened. The first one, a blindside hit, was a total surprise. The second one, well, that one felt more like a miscommunication – Jackson holding the ball too long, the pressure just crushing in.
It's gotta be frustrating for Jackson, you know? He's electric, a game-changer, but when the pocket collapses like that, it's tough for anyone to make a play.
What Did We Learn?
The Ravens' opening drive was a microcosm of the whole game, really. It's like they had this unstoppable momentum, then it just evaporated.
It's gonna be a long season if they keep getting sacked like that. It's clear the offensive line needs some serious work, and fast.
But hey, it's just one game. Maybe the Ravens can bounce back next week. We'll see!
