NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lamar Jackson’s improvement in 2019 was remarkable and it lined him up for a unanimous MVP award.
Expectations remain high for him, and they should. He's talented, plays for a team with a very smart coaching philosophy and is surrounded by very good talent.
But I’ve seen much written about him that completely disregards the Titans' playoff win in Baltimore. Sure, it was one game and he still put up big numbers in it. Tennessee, however, affected him in a big way, prompting two interceptions, a lost fumble and failed attempts on a couple fourth-and-1 rush attempts.
The Titans forced Jackson to move laterally. They were super-sound as they rallied to tackle him. They stopped the Ravens on a total of four fourth downs and went and scored touchdowns following the first two, those fourth-and-1 stops of Jackson runs.
