Part 4/7:
Lamar Jackson ended the evening with a healthy stat line of 177 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and a rushing touchdown, elevating his stellar career record in prime-time games to 20-5 since the 1970 merger – the best win percentage for any starting quarterback in that timeframe.

Despite Jackson and Henry’s standout performances, analysts reflected on the Ravens' defensive display as being equally significant. Baltimore’s defense looked sharper than it had in previous weeks, effectively neutralizing Herbert’s offensive capabilities. The defensive play-calling under new coordinator Zack was noted for its aggressiveness and newfound execution, leading to a better overall performance from the Ravens’ defense.
