  • worst numbers of the season across a number of categories.

  • Most turnovers.

  • Lowest total q B r in any regular season game of his young career, and I've been really looking forward.

  • Jeff Saturday is they get you into the conversation here to talking about this game as you watch them.

  • Are you?

  • I guess I would ask you, Do you feel like it is time to sort of write off the Ravens among the legitimate contenders in the A F C.

  • Based on what you saw on Sunday?

  • Absolutely not exactly the opposite.

  • In all honesty, I mean, listen, they took the Pittsburgh Steelers to task.

  • I'm 21 of 22 players beat the brakes off the Pittsburgh Steelers, 21 or 22 right?

  • Lamar Jackson struggled right?

  • He turned it over four times after the four turnovers.

  • Greeny.

  • They still had a chance to win the game in the last 10 seconds.

  • That tells you something.

  • The Steelers had 50 plays of offense, this offense, Donny 256 yards rushing.

  • They absolutely beat the brakes off the Steelers, who were lucky to be in the game at the end of the day.

  • If Lamar Jackson doesn't fumble it twice in the red zone.

  • The interceptions live with him, right?

  • Whatever it is, you're trying to get better.

  • One linebacker drops off, makes a good play.

  • But the whole idea that he can't win a big game.

  • Hey, I played with a guy who everybody said couldn't win a big game.

  • All of a sudden, he will be first round ballot Hall of Famer, right?

  • The guy can play.

  • He beat Tom Brady and two of three a f C championship games.

  • Let's not write off Lamar Jackson because he played bad on Sunday or has some bad games early.

  • He's 20.

  • What, 23 years old, 24 years old?

  • I think it's a ridiculous concept that we're even having that.

  • Yeah, the guy you're talking about to be clear.

  • His Peyton Manning, who was over his first three in the playoffs.

  • But but Greg, It's fascinating.

  • I think, that we put it that way.

  • 21 of the 22 players on the Ravens played well enough to beat the Steelers.

  • I don't disagree, but let's talk about the 22nd guy Greg, What did you see from the Marge accident on Sunday.

  • Well, it's not a one game sample size, though.

  • That's the problem.

  • Jeff is that we have now seen Lamar Jackson against the top teams in the NFL.

  • And let's just let's eliminate to the top, let's just say Kansas City and Pittsburgh, because those are the two teams he's gonna have to get through to get to the Super Bowl.

  • And guess what his record is as a starter against those two teams, he's one and four.

  • You realize you've got seven touchdowns against nine turnovers and in the process against those two teams.

  • He's taken 18 sacks, 18 sacks in five career matchups, and you mentioned that one and four.

  • You know that one win was against.

  • It was against, um, Mason.

  • Rudolph led Pittsburgh Steelers team against everybody else.

  • He torches him then the guys 23 1 unbelievable statistical productivity, both with touchdowns and with limiting turnovers being explosive with his legs.

  • But those teams can make him one dimensional, and at this point, he has not proven to be multidimensional enough to beat the top teams in the league.

  • So their aspirations or Super bowl, he's gotta pick it up and play better against those top quality opponent.

  • It's like Go ahead.

  • Okay, let me ask you this.

  • Let me ask you eso who has beat the Steelers this year?

  • No one right there, undefeated.

  • So who's who's walking up and down against the Steelers defense?

  • Nobody.

  • Everybody talks about the Chiefs of the best team in the league, right?

  • So they they skunked it against the Chiefs again to take the two fumbles away.

  • I get it.

  • He had it, but at the end of the day, this is Lamar Jackson gave them a chance toe win, a zwelling.

  • So, like what?

  • You're what you're saying.

  • I get it.

  • They're playing against good teams.

  • They he lost his one and four.

  • At the end of the day.

  • They still had a chance to win.

  • If he doesn't get it, Let me get Marcus in here.

  • I got 45 seconds.

  • Marcus, What is the right thing to say about what we saw from Lamar and what it means for their chances of winning a championship This way, Lamar's below average against teams that he's gonna need to beat the win the Super Bowl.

  • That's what the results are right now.

  • Now I'm not saying he can't pick it up and get it going at at a future at a future date.

  • But right now, based on what we see and what we understand, they need to be in order to win the Super Bowl.

  • And that's the context we're talking in.

  • Everybody gets so sideway when they think you're saying Lamar Jackson, there's a bad quarterback or he's not a guy that you can win with.

  • That's not the point.

  • The Ravens ran for over 200 yards and lost to the Steelers.

  • Usually, you're supposed to win those games, but your quarterback turned the ball over four times against Pittsburgh last year.

  • He turned the ball over three times against the Chiefs, he turned the football over.

  • When the pressure is being applied, you have to figure out a way to evolve this passing game, and we saw it like it's not all the more.

  • I don't think they have the weapons on the outside and I don't think they are enough.

  • They don't have enough juice with their passing concepts toe win these type of games.

  • Thank you for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
