Jackson threw four touchdowns and made a number of improbable big plays during the overtime instant classic at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, October 6.<\/p>\n<p>His performance prompted Henry to tell reporters \u201cThat was like third MVP-level for him. \u2026 Best player in the league. He\u2019s a GOAT for a reason,\u201d\u00a0per Ravens.com Editorial Director Ryan Mink.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_1_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-content adthrive-content-1 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\">\n<p>Ironically, as good as Jackson was, it was Henry who made the decisive play. A 51-yard run by the two-time NFL rushing champion positioned\u00a0Justin Tucker to settle things from 24 yards, after the under-fire kicker had ensured overtime by converting from 56 yards in regulation.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens signed Henry to be a difference-maker and he\u2019s delivering, but Jackson earned the lion\u2019s share of the praise. He deserves it after overcoming a faltering Baltimore defense dissected by Bengals QB\u00a0Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n<h2>Lamar Jackson Gets the Plaudits From Ravens<\/h2>\n<p>Henry wasn\u2019t the only member of the Ravens\u2019 offense blown away by how Jackson shredded the Bengals. Wide receiver\u00a0Zay Flowers\u00a0also added his voice to the praise.<\/p>\n<p>Flowers\u00a0simply said, \u201cthat boy different.\u201d when asked about Jackson\u2019s performance. \u201cMan different. He do everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jackson wasn\u2019t afraid to be unorthodox in Cincinnati. He took the unconventional route to make several pivotal plays.<\/p>\n<p>None more so than a six-yard scoring strike to tight end\u00a0Isaiah Likely in the fourth quarter. The connection happened despite Jackson losing the snap, regaining the ball and having to evade pressure.<\/p>\n<p>As\u00a0Charles Robinson of Yahoo! Sports\u00a0put it, \u201cLamar is a video game.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"fc679d958265b3e09d9c6ff386322c4a\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<article class=\"tweet-container_article\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container_header \">\n<p>The notion of Jackson playing his own game at his own unique speed, in his own unique way, was echoed by Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. He spoke in glowing terms about the \u201cunparalleled\u201d way Jackson does his work, per\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Jamison Hensley.<\/p>\n<p>Harbaugh also credited No. 8 for making \u201cso many unsung plays where he saved us lost-yardage situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saving his team in so many ways is why Jackson is already firmly\u00a0among the franchise\u2019s greatest players. The difference this season is Jackson\u2019s no longer a one-man band.<\/p>\n<p>He has another credible magic act for support.<\/p>\n<h2>Derrick Henry Was the Closer vs. Bengals<\/h2>\n<p>Jackson almost had the highlight reel to himself this week, but Henry was determined not to be forgotten. He made sure people noticed by\u00a0breaking off tackle for 50-plus\u00a0to all-but end Bengals hopes of an upset.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-content entry-content\">\n<p>It was telling that for all Jackson\u2019s brilliance, Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Todd Monken put the ball in Henry\u2019s hands when it mattered most. The 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year has become the closer for the Ravens, the consistent thumper who breaks the will of opponents.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what Henry\u00a0did during wins\u00a0over the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0and\u00a0Buffalo Bills. Now the Bengals have been added to his list of victims.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the Ravens don\u2019t need to care who the main man is, Jackson or Henry. Having both playing at an elite level gives this team its best chance to win a Super Bowl, a prize more important than any individual awards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Derrick Henry made a bold prediction about Lamar Jackson after the Baltimore Ravens won in Week 5.
