Baltimore got the 34-10 win thanks to a second-half surge from Lamar Jackson and the Ravens’ offense where he scored three touchdowns over the final 30 minutes.
The former MVP finished 16-of-22 for 152 yards and two touchdowns through the air while adding another 100 and two scores with his legs.
Now Lamar and the Ravens host Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs who are coming off one of their best offensive performances of the year on the road against the Bills.
The Ravens seem to have everything they need to finally break through and make their Super Bowl run but it’s easier said than done with KC standing on the other sideline.
