Lamar Jackson might be the greatest dual-threat QB to ever play the game but his record against the Ravens’ top rivals hasn’t been great. As Cam Newton expressed that Lamar is the best QB on the gridiron before the Ravens vs Steelers matchup, Stephen A. Smith couldn’t help but give him a reality check.
During the latest episode of the First Take, Cam passionately called the 2-time MVP the best player on the pitch in the upcoming matchup because he can light up the whole stadium and change the outcome of the game. But Newton failed to take Jackson’s record against the Steelers into account, which presented Stephen A Smith to fire back at him. Smith highlighted Lamar Jackson’s abysmal win % against Pittsburgh as well as the Chiefs.
He failed to rise to the occasion when he plays two strong teams and is the most important player on the pitch that Cam believes he always is. The 2-time MVP has won 78% of his games against the rest of the league, minus the two opponents and they have always been his weak point. Lamar and the Ravens have been phenomenal this season, with Louisville Alum presenting a strong case for another MVP.
Baltimore has blown out teams this season, outscoring them but they have also struggled at times. He has a winning record against most teams he has played in his career, like the Bengals against whom he’s 10-2. But his record against two teams that have won multiple Super Bowls this century hasn’t been great.
He is 1-3 and a 1-5 against the Steelers and the Chiefs respectively. As the Ravens take on bitter divisional rivals, the Steelers this week, Lamar’s record over them looms over him and even Cam Newton can’t defend the QB for failing to perform against Pittsburgh. The Ravens go into the game with a 7-3 record to face the Steelers with a 7-2 record.
Russell Wilson has performed well and they have won 3 straight games. The defense has been mammoth yet again, with T.J.
Watt playing like DPOY. The winner will go to the top of the AFC North..
