Star quarterback Lamar Jackson is keeping the Baltimore Ravens in the playoff race in the NFL’s Monday Night Game against the Chargers – and is particularly impressive with one move. In the Harbaugh duel, John remains undefeated against brother Jim.
Lamar Jackson led the Baltimore Ravens to victory against the Los Angeles Chargers in the NFL and at the same time helped his head coach John Harbaugh to triumph over his brother Jim.
The quarterback threw two touchdown passes and completed another play with a run into the end zone; the Ravens ultimately celebrated a 30:23 victory in the “Monday Night Game”.
NFL: John Harbaugh defeats brother Jim
John Harbaugh, coach of the Ravens, remains undefeated (3-0) in a duel with Jim Harbaugh, his brother who is two years younger on the Chargers side.
“This is a big victory. I’m proud of our team,” said John Harbaugh. “I just told him he was a great coach, had a great team and that I loved him.” Jim congratulated: “They were the better team.” The Harbaugh Bowl fell on her parents’ 63rd wedding anniversary, Jack and Jackie Harbaugh.
Jackson shone with a total of 177 passing yards and a 40-yard touchdown pass to Rashod Bateman to make it 14:10 for the Ravens after the Chargers had taken an early lead with a touchdown from Justin Herbert.
Jackson has plenty of time to pass
The fact that Jackson completed 16 of his 22 passes was also due to the fact that the Chargers defense only put him under pressure very late, according to calculations by “Next Gen Stats”. He had an average of just under 3.5 seconds to get rid of the ball.
Another highlight was Justice Hill’s 51-yard run to make it 30:16, which meant the preliminary decision.
The Ravens (8:4 wins) are still on course for the playoffs. As things stand, the Chargers (7:4) would also be in the postseason, but they have to fear the long-term loss of JK Dobbins. The running back injured his knee in the first half and did not play again after the break.
