3. Jackson fails to throw touchdown pass for fourth time in 2019

Not only did the Baltimore Ravens make another statement in Week 13 by handing the San Francisco 49ers their second loss of the season, but the team also received help from the Houston Texans, who defeated the New England Patriots.

As a result, the Ravens officially moved into first place in the AFC due to their head-to-head tiebreaker over the defending Super Bowl champions.

But whether Baltimore has what it takes to hang on to the top spot, only time will tell in the AFC playoff picture since the team will be playing with targets on their back for the remainder of the regular season.

For now, the main focus for the Ravens at the moment is on what should be another tough battle against another playoff-caliber team in the Buffalo Bills.

A few months ago, the Bills didn’t seem like that much of a threat within the conference, but watching them defeat the Dallas Cowboys the way they did makes it seem like Buffalo is the real deal.

In fact, Buffalo’s defense has been playing so well at times this season, this could be one of those games in which Lamar Jackson fails to throw a single touchdown pass, as crazy as that sounds to hear.
