This definitely wasn’t one for the highlight reel for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens’ offense.
But a win is a win, and they’ll take it.
Despite being a strong team this season, Jackson and the offense struggled against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night, only managing a 20-10 win at SoFi Stadium.
The Ravens had a tough time scoring, with a late touchdown by rookie Zay Flowers being the saving grace. Baltimore managed to get just 13 points before that touchdown, barely holding on to a three-point lead through the fourth quarter.
Although they totaled 361 yards of offense, they struggled to capitalize on a Chargers’ defense that is ranked amongst the worst in the league.
What made things worse was that the Ravens have scored more than 30 points in each of their last five games.
Fortunately, their defense held strong, forcing 4 turnovers and sacking Justin Herbert 3 times. The defensive line made things difficult for Herbert, causing multiple issues for the Chargers.
Many are calling out the Ravens’ offense for their lackluster performance.

What do you know – Ravens offense stalling and Gus Edwards (your work horse) nowhere to be found. <

Frustrating night from the Ravens offense tonight, because the Chargers defense is bad.

Ravens defense has created 3 turnovers, but the offense has only produced 13 points. It’s now 13-10, and the offense needs to find something to help the defense out and put this game away.
