Lamar Jackson and Rashod Bateman have struggled to develop efficient gameday chemistry over the past few years. Still, the MVP quarterback and the wide receiver have been on the same page over the past few weeks.
The Ravens are up 14-9 over the Bengals late in the second quarter, and Bateman is a massive reason for this. The former Minnesota Golden Gophers star made two dynamic catches, including a 16-yard touchdown grab to give Baltimore a lead.
