Lamar Jackson has been sensational through 10 games, playing at an MVP level in Todd Monken’s offense.<\/p>\n

Jackson has gotten the ball out quicker than at any point in his career and has diced up defenses on intermediate routes. Through 10 weeks, Jackson leads all qualified QBs with a 132.2 passer rating on intermediate throws (10-19 air yards), per Next Gen Stats.<\/p>\n

One element of his game has been missing, however: the deep shot.<\/p>\n

In Sunday’s loss to Cleveland, Jackson missed an open Zay Flowers deep that would have put the Ravens up 24-6. After the missed shot, Justin Tucker had a field goal blocked, turning the tide of the game in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

“I mean it’s right there. I’m pissed off about it, to be honest with you,” Jackson said via the team’s official website. “I watched the game, and it’s like it might be a difference in the game if we connect with that one.<\/p>\n

“Can’t dwell on it. Hopefully, this Thursday, we catch them when we want them, we have success with the deep ball, we connect and have chemistry there. I believe it’s there [because], in practice, we do it all the time. Those guys catch the ball down the field 40 yards, 50 yards down the field. We need to transition that over to the games, that’s all.”<\/p>\n
