Week 6 confirmed what had been evident for several weeks: the Baltimore Ravens are serious title contenders. This time, they defeated none other than the tournament’s sensation, the Washington Commanders led by Jayden Daniels. After the game, it was their star QB Lamar Jackson who delivered a clear message about the victory.
The game was closely contested, finishing with just a one-possession difference, with a final score of 30-23 in favor of John Harbaugh‘s team. Jackson was once again instrumental, and after the game, he spoke with journalist Sarah Ellison, who asked him if they have the best offense in the league.
In response to Ellison’s question, Jackson was emphatic: “No, we’re just proving we can win games. We’re just playing Ravens football. We didn’t prove we’re the best offense. We’re 6 games in, so there’s always room for improvement.”
Following the important victory over the Commanders, the Baltimore Ravens achieved a positive record of 4-2, making them one of the strongest teams in the AFC North currently in the league.

Sarah Ellison also asked Lamar if this is the most balanced offense he has had in Baltimore, to which Jackson responded: “Mmmmm, somewhat. In a way, you could say, yeah. In 2019, we were pretty balanced until guys went down at the end of the season. But, yeah, you could say that.”
