The Sunday night matchup between the Jaguars and Ravens could have ended at halftime after four disastrous drives for the home team.
But then again, if that had been the case, the football world wouldn’t have witnessed Lamar Jackson’s jaw-dropping pass—or in this case knee-dropper—to tight end Isaiah Likely late in the third quarter. Jackson improved his MVP stock on the unreal play, which left edge rusher Dawuane Smoot on the ground in disbelief after the Ravens’ signal-caller escaped the potential sack.
Jackson led the Ravens to a 23–7 victory in Jacksonville to maintain control of the AFC’s No. 1 seed with three games left in the regular season. The Ravens (11–3) deserved to win, but this was more about the Jaguars (8–6) losing the game on their final four drives of the first half.
