Ravens’ QB Lamar Jackson has more pass attempts than Patrick Mahomes this season

Statistical evidence shows that the Baltimore Ravens are calling far too many pass plays this season. Shockingly, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown 22 fewer passes than quarterback Lamar Jackson through week 2.

If Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid is realistic enough to avoid obsessive usage of Mahomes, why can’t Monken relinquish and do what’s best for the Ravens by running the ball at higher volumes?

Punts, low conversion rates on third down, and Jackson turnovers are points of reference for Monken to opt for more run plays. Nevertheless, fans are forced to watch a team full of potential struggle behind the stubbornness of a rigid-minded coordinator.

Mahomes needed just 18 completions to escape the mastermind of Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo in week 2. On the other hand, Jackson was subject to the punishment of Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby.
