348 passing yards, four touchdowns, and a rating of 119 summarizes what turned out to be another heroic day in the career of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Jackson is at war on the inside, driven by a burning desire for excellence and success after coming up short last season. 

Jackson and the Ravens trailed the Bengals for most of the game, but offensive perfection kept Baltimore within striking distance. Failure was never an option, and Jackson’s ability to score on both a 10- and 11-play drives in the fourth quarter were indicators of his relentlessness.

Ravens’ fans felt their stomachs turned when Jackson surrendered an overtime fumble, but thanks to a 53-yard field goal miss from Bengals kicker Evan McPherson, Baltimore was given another chance to steal the game.

The only negative regard critics can apply to Jackson would reference his blood temperature after Sunday’s win. Jackson has ice in his veins.
