Lamar Jackson throws for 2 TDs and rushes for 1 as Ravens take down Chargers

The “Harbaugh Bowl” at SoFi Stadium went to John, as he defeated his brother Jim’s Los Angeles Chargers 30-23 on “Monday Night Football” to get his Baltimore Ravens back in the win column.

The Ravens moved to 8-4 on the season, while the Chargers fell to 7-4.

It may have been the first game where he didn’t score this season, but the Ravens offense was once again led by Derrick Henry’s strong rushing attack.

Henry racked up 140 rushing yards on 24 carries (5.8 per attempt) as Baltimore’s run game continues to outpace NFL defenses this season.

It wasn’t anything flashy for Henry, but one of the best defenses in the league couldn’t figure out how to make the big stop when the ball was in his hands.

Meanwhile, two other rushers were able to find the end zone, with Lamar Jackson running in for the Ravens’ first score of the game and Justice Hill putting the dagger in the victory with a 51-yard score in the fourth quarter.

Things were going so well for Los Angeles to start this game as Justin Herbert was methodical as he charged downfield and eventually rushed in for a touchdown on the opening drive. But it was the only of two touchdowns the team would score all game, as Cameron Dicker was active making field goals.

Jackson, on the other hand, managed to get two of his passes into the end zone, with Mark Andrews jumping to haul one in during the fourth quarter, while Rashod Bateman fought through a defensive pass interference call at the end of the first half. Grab a 40 yard bomb from Jackson to take a 17-13 lead at that point.

Gus Edwards was able to score from one yard out with less than a minute to play in the fourth quarter, giving Dicker a chance to get an onside kick with a one-score game.

But Isaiah likely secured the effort to seal the Ravens’ victory, a much-needed victory for Baltimore after faltering in Pittsburgh last week.

Jackson finished the game with 177 passing yards on 16 of 22 through the air with his two touchdowns and one rushing score. Zay Flowers was his top receiver with 62 yards on five receptions, while Andrews also had 44 yards on five catches.

For Herbert, he went 21 of 36 for 218 yards, with drops being an issue for his receivers on the night. Quentin Johnston was the main culprit as he failed to score any of his five goals.

Ladd McConkey, a standout rookie for Los Angeles, had 83 yards on six catches.

Also worthless for the Chargers: JK Dobbins, the ex-Ravens who starred for the Chargers this season, left the game with a knee injury. Dobbins has a history of torn ligaments in his knee, so Chargers fans are waiting with bated breath to see what happens with their star running back.
