After notching their first win in AFC North play last week, the\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0now have the tough task\u00a0of stopping the\u00a0Washington Commanders’ high-powered offense.<\/p>\n
Commanders quarterback\u00a0Jayden Daniels\u00a0is off to a fantastic start to his rookie season with an NFL-leading 77.1% completion rate along with 300 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n
Normally, that caliber of QB would be the unquestioned best on the field no matter the opponent. The situation changes when Lamar Jackson is on the other sideline, and the opposing head coach knows it.<\/p>\n
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn might be a well-renowned defensive mind, but he’s just like you and me (and\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0WR\u00a0Ja’Marr Chase) when it comes to preparing to play the two-time MVP. Really,\u00a0any<\/em>\u00a0defensive coordinator is.<\/p>\n When asked about preparing to face Jackson, Quinn admitted that sleep does not come easy the nights beforehand.<\/p>\n “It does a lot,” Quinn said when asked how much a QB like Jackson keeps defensive coordinators up at night. “And I had this conversation yesterday with somebody. When you can extend plays that obviously changes how you go about things. So some quarterbacks need extra, you know, people for spy. Sometimes you want to have zone where there’s vision to go, and it’s the second play, usually that can be the most challenging. A first play may begin as a pass, then the second one begins outside the pocket.<\/p>\n “He has just had remarkable success with his arm and with his legs and so, yeah, he’s absolutely a threat.”<\/p>\n\n
