Hamilton officially has his first game changing play in purple, in the form of a fruit punch that surely put a smile on Humphrey’s face. Quick shoutout to Kyle Hamilton too, who popped the ball free from Nelson Agholor late in the game, leading to a Peters fumble recovery. If they can continue to rebuild that mojo as the season progresses, the secondary is going to win Baltimore a lot of games down the stretch. Seeing both of those guys finally cash in on their opportunities to do so is incredibly promising going forward. In a recent edition of our podcast “Russell Street Replay” (which can be found right on the Russell Street Report YouTube page), we made mention of the Ravens defense needing to create those extra possessions for the offense while Lamar is so hot, and the need for someone else besides Marcus Williams to begin stepping up. Both men finally found themselves back in the turnover column with big interceptions late in the game on Sunday, which massively helped the defense overcome giving up almost 450 yards of total offense. RAVENS = HAWKSĬonfused by that subheading? Well don’t be, because the hawks I’m referring to are ballhawks, none other than Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey. So far this year, it’s quickly starting to look like maybe Eric DeCosta and Steve Bisciotti should’ve just given #8 whatever he was asking for this past off-season, because that price tag appears to be going up more by the day. People have been waiting a long time to be able to break out the Jackson Five memes again, and they finally got their chance this week. What he did on Sunday was masterful, gashing the Patriots through the air and on the ground for 325 total yards and five touchdowns. The only team with more Total TD than Lamar Jackson… is Baltimore 🤯 /AvPCm1N6zG He’s the league leader in touchdown passes and QBR, and oh by the way, he’s also fourth in rushing. Sporting a 10 touchdown to two interception ratio, Jackson has been the driving force behind the Ravens offense returning to the level of dominance that we saw in 2019, the same year he won his first MVP award. Lamar Jackson is completely and unequivocally the NFL’s most valuable player through the first three weeks.
