    Vaseline Posted on

    BALTIMORE — — Lamar Jackson threw nine passes to Zay Flowers in the first half and never went to him again. Mark Andrews recovered from a ball bouncing out of his hands and was intercepted to catch his first touchdown pass of the season. And Derrick Henry was Derrick Henry.

    The result was a dominant offensive performance as Jackson outscored rookie Jayden Daniels in a showdown between two of the NFL’s top quarterbacks with 323 yards passing and another 40 rushing, and the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Washington Commanders 30-23 on Sunday for their fourth consecutive victory. .

    “Just a choice for your poison crime,” Jackson said.

    Henry ran for 132 yards and his NFL-leading eighth and ninth TDsFlowers set a career high with 132 yards receiving and Jackson moved to second on the career rushing list among QBs. Baltimore (4-2) mixed and matched the pass and ran to near perfection.

    “Guys are going to get their touches and get the ball and good things are going to happen, and that’s what happened today,” said Andrews, who tied Todd Heap for most TD catches since the team went to Baltimore in the 41st of his career moved. “We are extremely versatile in what we do, and we are going to get better week by week with this game and become the machine we can be.”

    Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin on two touchdown passes, but didn’t get nearly enough help from the backfield in a combination of the top two rushing offenses in the league. Of Brian Robinson Jr. dropped out due to a knee injury, Washington (4-2) managed just 52 yards on the ground.

    “B-Rob is a great player, but he’s the next man up,” Daniels said. “We have to go out there and do our job.”

    The Commanders defense struggled to contain Jackson and Henry, allowing Baltimore to gain 484 yards, and their winning streak ended at four with a loss at the hands of an opponent that is starting to look like the legitimate Super Bowl contender that expected to occur. are.

    “We have so many guys that can play, a lot of guys get opportunities, get the ball and can showcase their talents,” said Henry, who became the first player to rush for a TD in each of his first games. six games since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2005. “That’s what you want as an offense.”

    The Ravens’ masterclass included scoring drives of 93 and 94 yards, the second of which became the difference of the game when Henry scored from 7 yards out late in the third quarter.

    “Those two drives were much needed,” Flowers said. “I feel like we needed that drive to set the tone that this offense is going to continue all game and we’re just going to keep scoring whether we run or pass.”

    The struggle against the pass continued, with Daniels going 24 of 35 for 269 yards, but once again Baltimore was able to overcome its problems. Coach John Harbaugh called it the ultimate team victory.

    “All three phases contributed to the win when they needed to,” Harbaugh said. “Guys responded in a lot of ways today.”

    When asked afterward if he thought the game showed the Ravens have the best offense in football, Jackson dismissed that idea because there is still a lot of season left.

    “We’re just proving that we can win games,” said Jackson, who completed 20 of his 26 passes. “There is always room for improvement.”
