That is how basically every team plays them but it is far easier said than done.

Titans have actually been doing a decent job of it for most of the game, Jackson only needs one gap and he is gone.

Didn't play him like that on that down. The Man tasked with containing him was 25yards behind the line of scrimmage when he should have been no more than 10. Once the gap appeared there was nothing to stop him

Titans should just play to contain Jackson in the pocket and let him throw. He's very effective once he gets running but below average in general QB play. Limit his chances to run and they'll increase their chances exponentially

The main reason for that, IMO, is his lack of outside threats (none) as opposed to a lack of talent on Jackson’s part. He can only do so much.

Whatever happens tonight, the Ravens should spend every penny they can in the off-season on putting together a competent set of WR’s.

It’s been the same downfall with them for a long time now.

Pat Ricard is an animal.

Disagree. It looked very much like 51 was on Jackson - 6 yards off the line of scrimmage. He made a mistake and believed Jackson was contained and took the RB when he came out late. He still nearly made the tackle on Jackson if it wasn't for his change of direction and the block by the RB.

Even if a team has someone with no other responsibility than simply spying Jackson there are very few guys who Jackson won't beat at some point athletically.

Missed FG by Justin tucker. It looked like his left leg kind of slipped. That all state ad is bizarre and when the “astronauts” are flying over the crater the words “do not attempt” appear on the screen. Ffs that’s bad when a company needs to put that on the screen.

Benimar · 10-01-2021 9:22pm

Think that punt is a really bad decision. (As is not running Henry on either 2nd or 3rd down)

In fairness, Hollywood Brown means business tonight and is blossoming into a decent option, particularly post-Covid.

May not be at the level of Diggs or Hopkins yet, but I'd be looking at bringing in a companion for Brown, not a replacment.

Itssoeasy · 10-01-2021 9:31pm

FG ravens. Seven point game with under five minutes to play.

Kev8360 · 10-01-2021 9:32pm

time for derrick henry to break out for a big run...

BrentMused · 10-01-2021 9:32pm

That is an outrageous call on Snead, especially when you don't call the one on Brown in the end-zone.

Either call both, or none.

Fans of every team think they are hard done by but there is a serious problem with officiating in the NFL and it's time that something was done about it.

He's fine, but I wouldn't want him to be any more than my #2.

The problem for Baltimore is what should be a #2, is the go-to.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely wouldn't replace/get rid of him!

It wasn’t an outrageous call on Snead. It was technically the definition of the foul because he used his shoulder.

Edit: if you’ve ever read the nfl rule book it’s overly complicated as it’s written which I think is a problem.

Anyway two minute warning in Nashville.

What a celebration from Baltimore after the INT!

He who laughs last, laughs the longest and all that.

Itssoeasy · 10-01-2021 9:50pm

And that’s the game. And under an hour until the bears and saints game kicks off.

BrentMused · 10-01-2021 9:52pm

First time Baltimore have come back to win from 10+ behind since 2016! :eek:

Oat23 · 10-01-2021 9:52pm

Pretty lame to run off the field without even acknowledging your opponents after a tough game. At least shake Tannehill's hand, Lamar.

Brown's one earlier would have also fallen into that category though.

I think the 'let them play' thing in the playoffs and SB is stupid in generally, it gets worse when it seems to go on only one team

helimachoptor · 10-01-2021 9:58pm

Better team won.
That punt on 4th and two was a biiiig mistake

It’s the one thing I don’t get. Why can’t you just shake your opponent’s hand after a game. You might not mean it in the slightest but at least do it.

hynesie08 · 10-01-2021 10:06pm

Watching the best of spongebob sporting moments before the bears/saints on nickelodeon..... I'm looking forward to this way too much.

He doesn't have history of doing that (cough... Brady) so if I was to guess it was either to get the team away from any additional trouble post logo stomp or else a mental type of run to prep for their next game rather than celebrating.

He ended up having to come back out to interview anyway so it made the whole thing pointless.

Yep, made actually no sense if you want to win the game.

I fully expect the Chiefs to put them to the sword in the next round so hopefully that will be the end of the Ravens. Can't warm to them or their coach.

Oat23 · 10-01-2021 10:36pm

I'm going to watch this on Nickelodeon. Hopefully Nagy gets slimed.

Manti Teo plays for us? That was news to me.

He was only a practice squad guy until yesterday when Roquan was ruled out.

Better than last week when his girlfriend was in for Smith.

She was real, he met her on the Internet. Good win for Baltimore in the end, I give the Bears a squeak here, Montgomery is a good runner, and Trubisky has ability if he can avoid stupid throws

Poor guy will never live that down. Apparently he is making a documentary about it with Netflix.

The kid on the sideline, Lex, is a pretty good presenter and he's only 14!

Nate Burleson made a Kenan & Kel reference after 30 seconds which made my day.

The main commentator, Ian Eagle's son Noah, is really good too. He should really be a regular NFL commentator.

Realt Dearg Sec · 10-01-2021 10:56pm

Jackson is ALLERGIC to tackling this year.

Realt Dearg Sec · 10-01-2021 11:02pm

We had no answers on that drive. Harris, Thomas and Kamara all made big plays. Think we'll struggle to get to grips with them going on that, too many dimensions to their offense, it's not like there's just one glaring issue here.

Itssoeasy · 10-01-2021 11:08pm

That looks complete. Nice throw from Mitch.

MileHighGuy · 10-01-2021 11:09pm

Looked like a clear catch to me.

Another poxy review, it's a catch, caught it and ran with it, how can they call it incomplete, so I hope it's called a catch, if it isn't, what is?

10-01-2021 11:10pm

Surely that'll be overturned...

Nice play.

It looked good both in real time and in replay. I’ve no idea what the refs saw there. Last night was the same carry on. Even watching replays the refs seemed to be seeing different things.

The eternal question with the NFL. Why they can't clearly define a catch after years of controversy on it is beyond me. As you say, if that isn't one...

Itssoeasy · 10-01-2021 11:11pm

It was a catch before the review lads.

Mr. Guappa · 10-01-2021 11:12pm

Oh my god... straight through his hands
