The Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans will face one another in a highly anticipated matchup in Week 11. That is due to everyone wanting to witness the spectacle that takes place with Lamar Jackson and Deshaun Watson playing against each other.
So far this season, Jackson has built off of his impressive rookie campaign with 2,036 yards, 15 touchdowns, and five interceptions through the air. Of course, Jackson is so tough to stop on the ground, with him rushing for 702 yards and six touchdowns.
With those numbers, Jackson has been discussed as one of the favorites to win the NFL's MVP Award. Jackson will look to carry his momentum into Sunday.
Here are a few bold predictions for the Ravens' quarterback in Week 11 versus the Texans.
3. Jackson will throw for 300 yards
While many have been in awe of Jackson's ability to create plays with his legs, the improvements that he has made with his arm are incredible. The second-year quarterback put his improved play from under center on display in Week 1 versus the Miami Dolphins.
In that game, the 22-year-old quarterback threw for 324 yards and five touchdowns. It was the first and only game of Jackson's young career that he had thrown for over 300 yards.
With that being said, Jackson will exceed 300 passing yards on Sunday versus the Texans. The Texans have the 29th ranked pass defense in the NFL, giving up an average of 277.3 yards per game.
2. Jackson will score five total touchdowns
As mentioned above, Jackson threw for five touchdowns to kick off the season for the Ravens in Week 1. Surprisingly enough, that has been the only game thus far that the dual-threat quarterback has scored five total touchdowns in a game.
With his ability to run and throw the ball, there is never a shortage of scoring for Baltimore's offense. Jackson will prove that to be true on Sunday when he has his second career game of scoring at least five touchdowns.
Altogether, Jackson has contributed 21 total touchdowns for the Ravens and will add another five to his totals in Week 11.
1. Jackson will have another game with a perfect passer rating
Last week, Jackson was able to complete 15 of his 17 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns as the Ravens trounced the Cincinnati Bengals 49-13. For the second time this season, Jackson finished with a perfect passer rating of 158.3.
Provided that, Jackson became the second quarterback in NFL history to have two games of having a perfect passer rating in the same season. The only other quarterback to do so was Ben Roethlisberger of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
To add to his already impressive case for MVP, Jackson will have another game with a perfect passer rating on Sunday versus the Texans.
