After pulling off an epic comeback against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, led by an insane performance by Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens are looking like the most dangerous team in the AFC. With a few comeback wins under their belt and some statement wins early into the season, it seems like they're ready to take the next step and make a Super Bowl run this season.
It is still a ways away and that most certainly won't be an easy journey for them, but given what they've already accomplished this season, it's also not an impossible feat for them either. With all this going for the Ravens, let's take a look at the three biggest takeaways from Lamar Jackson's historic night during Baltimore's comeback win against the Colts.
Lamar Jackson is playing MVP caliber football
Coming off a historic performance on Monday night where put up 442 passing yards to go along with four touchdowns and 62 rushing yards, it's safe to say that Lamar Jackson had another MVP caliber performance. Not to mention 335 of his passing yards came in the second half and overtime as they fought hard to overcome a 19-point deficit.
There's no denying that Jackson's the catalyst behind this team's success and when his playmaking goes to another level like it did on Monday night, the Raven's are merely unstoppable. If they want to get over the hump this season, Jackson will have to keep up with this level of play. After Monday's come from behind win, Lamar Jackson proved himself as one of the best pressure players in the NFL and if he can continue to play like this, then the rest of the AFC will be in big trouble come playoff time.
Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown have been big for the Ravens
With 272 receiving yards, four touchdowns, and 20 receptions between them, Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown were able to run all over the Colts secondary and give the Ravens offense the boost it needed when the game was on the line. Andrews and Brown have formed an elite receiving duo this season and pulled off some big plays for the Ravens during pivotal moments.
If one of these guys is open down field, Jackson knows when he tosses the ball in their direction that it'll result in a big gain or a touchdown. Their on-field chemistry with Jackson has made this team one of the most efficient and electric scoring teams in the league. So come next week's match-up against the high flying Chargers, look out for another big game from Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown.
The Baltimore Ravens are legit Super Bowl contenders
After enduring a heart breaking overtime loss to the Raiders in Week 1, the Ravens have bounced back in a major way with four straight wins that include two historic comebacks. With Lamar Jackson looking like the league MVP once again and the Ravens getting major contributions from their star players on both sides of the ball, things are really looking up in Baltimore right now.
Especially as they aim to challenge the Chiefs and Bills for AFC supremacy in the playoffs. Cooking with gas and ready to continue steamrolling through their competition, the Ravens are seeming more and more like Super Bowl contenders. There's still a bit of a ways to go, but with the way this team's playing there's no denying that they'll be a hand full come playoff time.
