Both Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels played well in Sunday’s matchup between the Ravens and Commanders, though Baltimore came away with the 30-23 victory.
After sharing a field with Daniels for a few hours, Jackson was asked if the hype surrounding the rookie quarterback motivated him.
“No, I believe [Daniels] deserves all the hype he’s getting,” Jackson said. “He played a tremendous game out there. They just came up short. He’s been proving it. His rookie season — first six games he’s been playing amazing.”
Jackson finished the game 20-of-26 passing for 323 yards with a touchdown and an interception, adding 40 rushing yards. Daniels was 24-of-35 for 269 yards with two touchdowns, adding 22 rushing yards.
The Ravens have now won four in a row after beginning the season 0-2.
“[We’re] just proving we can win games,” Jackson said. “[We’re] just playing Raven football right now. I don’t think that really proved anything like we [are] the best offense. There’s always room for improvement.”
