This year’s red zone offense has contributed to some of the Ravens’ early-season success. Through the first month of the season, Baltimore has been virtually unstoppable inside the opposing 20-yard line.

At 12 of their 15 red zone trips, the Ravens have scored touchdowns, registering a league-high success rate of 80%.

And a large portion of THAT success is due to Lamar Jackson, the quarterback, and his unpredictable play close to the end zone.

Wide receiver Zay Flowers, a rookie for the Ravens, remarked, “You never know what you’re going to get.” “He has two options: running and throwing. He’s capable of doing whatever you ask of him to cross the end zone. Thus, it’s almost automatic while we’re down there.

With his unpredictable style, Jackson reached a new peak on Sunday in Cleveland, where he scored several touchdowns in a single game by rushing and throwing. In addition to hitting tight end Mark Andrews for touchdown throws of seven and eighteen yards, he ran for two touchdowns of ten and two yards.

“He’s able to do so many other things that other quarterbacks can’t do,” Andrews stated. That is a lovely thing. Lamar Jackson is unmatched by anyone.

However, the Ravens’ red zone performance has significantly improved under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. The team hasn’t always been excellent there. Baltimore finished 19th in red zone offense over the previous three seasons, scoring touchdowns less than 57% of the time.

We were entering the red zone but failing to score, so you’d have to go back a few years,” Jackson remarked. “I think a lot of that was due to [a lack of] focus, and just because we made it this far, we need to concentrate even more to finish the drive rather than having ‘Tuck’ run onto the field and attempt a field goal as is customary when we enter the red zone, also known as the black zone, according to Coach [Monken].”

Even though they were shorthanded on Sunday against the Browns, Jackson and the Ravens managed to do what they did in the red zone. Wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman were not available for Baltimore. Ronnie Stanley, the starting left tackle, was also injured. Due to a shoulder injury, starting left tackle Morgan Moses missed the entire second half of play.

Jackson was “running the show out there,” according to Harbaugh. “He was the general, the point guard. In addition to handling the shot clock, he was making the decisions and calls. I simply thought that he had an amazing football game.”
