Weekly grades for every position group on offense are in with some high, moderate and poor marks.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0finally found a way to finish and didn\u2019t let another double-digit fourth-quarter lead slip away in a decisive 28-25 win over the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0on Sunday in Week 3. In the team\u2019s first victory of the 2024 regular season, there were several impressive performances by players on both sides of the ball including some tremendous improvements from those who have been much maligned to start the season.<\/p>\n
Here is how each individual position group on offense fared on the weekly grade sheet.<\/p>\n
Lamar Jackson had another \u201cphenomenal\u201d outing in the apt words of head coach John Harbaugh in his postgame press conference. He used his arm and legs to carve up the Dallas\u2019 defense almost every time he stepped on the field in the first three quarters and then once again with the game on the line. Needing a couple of first downs to keep the ball away from the Cowboys after they had made things a little too close for comfort late in the game, the reigning league MVP came to the Ravens\u2019 rescue to ice the game with a couple of clutch plays. The first came on a crucial third down conversion when he had to deliver a quick accurate pass with pressure from a blitz coming in hot and two plays later, he faked out everyone including the cameraman on an option player where he pulled the ball late and exploded up the middle for a 10-yard gain and game-clinching first down.<\/p>\n
