2. Jackson throws for 300, rushes for 100

When Lamar Jackson torched the Miami Dolphins in Week 1, everyone was in awe of how good the Baltimore Ravens second-year quarterback looked. However, even more surprising was the fact that it was all done with his arm. He was expected to progress as a passer, but no one was thinking that he would ever have a game where he rushed for just six yards giving how dynamic he is taking off.

Jackson then showed off what he can do with his legs against the Cardinals last week, running 16 times for 120 yards. In the meantime, he still almost matched his Week 1 passing total of 324 yards as he threw for 272 yards against Arizona. And on Sunday against the Chiefs, even if the Ravens are on the road, he’s going to show it all off.

Put simply, the Chiefs defense just doesn’t have the bodies that can match up with the Baltimore offense. No one in the secondary can contain Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews, nor can any of the linebackers. Meanwhile, Jackson and Mark Ingram are going to have a field day against a bad rushing defense.

In a game that’s going to be an offensive-minded affair, Jackson is going to need to do everything he can to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Thus, he’ll put all of his talents on display and have both his best passing performance of the season yet to go along with his second 100-yard rushing performance in as many weeks.
