The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs will take part in the most anticipated game of Week 3. The game is headlined by Lamar Jackson squaring off against Patrick Mahomes.

Both quarterbacks in this game have been phenomenal to begin the season but Jackson has surprised some people with his improvements as a passer. What should we expect to see from the Ravens quarterback in Week 3 versus the Chiefs?

Over the first two weeks of the season, Jackson has been nearly perfect as Baltimore has won its first two games by the combined score of 82-27. In those games, the second-year quarterback has completed 41 of his 57 attempts for 596 yards and seven touchdowns.

After having a season when he was criticized for how much he ran the ball as a rookie, Lamar Jackson has delivered a highlight reel of remarkable passes just two weeks into the season. Last week, the Louisville product had a pass that will go down as one of the best throws of the season.

It was third and 11 with nearly three minutes remaining. Jackson dropped back, unleashing the ball down the right sideline. The ball was put on a rope, 41 yards to the sideline to Marquise Brown over his right shoulder.

The rookie wide receiver made the catch and the Ravens were able to defeat the Arizona Cardinals 23-17. If Jackson had put the ball anywhere else, there's a decent chance that the ball hits the ground.

Jackson has been able to throw the ball with ease against the Miami Dolphins and Cardinals. The polarizing signal-caller shouldn't have any trouble maintaining his momentum against Kansas City.

Of course, there is some concern due to the young quarterback traveling to a hostile environment. Yet, that shouldn't prevent him from performing well. That's because the Chiefs still have a defense that has shown some glaring weaknesses.

In Week 1, the Chiefs surrendered 26 points and 428 total yards to a Jacksonville Jaguars team that lost Nick Foles in the first quarter. Despite allowing just 10 points to the Oakland Raiders in Week 2, their defense still appeared to be inconsistent.

Therefore, expect to see another notable performance from Baltimore's franchise quarterback on Sunday. Lamar Jackson could put together a stat line of 310 passing yards and three touchdowns. On the ground, the mobile quarterback will also tack on another 75 yards.
