After weeks of comparison, Lamar Jackson showed why Jayden Daniels and likely no other quarterback in the NFL is on his level. Jackson outduels Daniels and Derrick Henry’s runs for two scores as the Ravens beat Commanders 30-23 at a raucous M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.

The game offered a playoff atmosphere as the Battle of the Beltway featured two teams atop their division and two likely playoff participants.

With preparation for Week 7 underway, we’re looking at an instant analysis of the big win.
