The Baltimore Ravens quarterback, Lamar Jackson, has pointed to consistency as the key to overcoming his current career slump. After the loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Jackson emphasized the need to maintain a uniform performance to improve his game. In the recent 32-14 defeat against the Bengals, Jackson suffered two fumbles and an interception, marking his worst record of ball losses in four seasons. The player attributes these errors to the lack of consistency in his game.
Jackson has downplayed injuries as a determining factor in his poor performance. Despite dealing with knee, ankle, and toe problems in recent weeks, the player insists that consistency is the main challenge to overcome. Jackson’s performance in the last games has been below expectations. He has strung together three games without throwing a touchdown pass and has had a completion percentage below 60% in four consecutive games, something unprecedented in his career. Despite these difficulties, Jackson maintains a positive attitude and trusts in his ability to improve. His goal is to regain his best form and lead the Ravens to victory.“I just have to play consistently. I have to make those throws. I don’t miss them in practice, so I shouldn’t miss them in the game.”

In his first four starts, the Ravens averaged 32.7 points per game. Since his return from a hamstring injury, the team has averaged 23 points in its five most recent games. The Ravens’ tight end, Mark Andrews, has expressed his support for Jackson, highlighting his confidence in the quarterback. Safety Kyle Hamilton has also backed Jackson, acknowledging his value as a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player. The loss to the Bengals has affected the Ravens’ aspirations of repeating as AFC North champions, diminishing their chances of winning the division. The Ravens (6-6) are half a game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5). Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has shown his support for Jackson, assuring that the team is united and will fight alongside their quarterback.“I feel like I’m seeing the field pretty well for the most part. But I just have to be consistent. We all have to be consistent.”
