Last night is an example where if you just read the stat line you would think Jackson actually had a pretty good game. The truth is he couldn’t seem to complete a pass further than 5 yards down the field the majority of the game. A large chunk of his passing yards and only TD was on a play that was 90% his TE making an incredible play (even the broadcast said the throw only had a 0.3% chance of a TD based on their models). It was actually a pretty bad game for Jackson IMO. Especially on that last drive I’m not sure he even made one good/accurate pass. He is very lucky he didn’t have another INT. I can’t believe the DB dropped that nice pass right into his hands. On the other hand… - His offensive line was terrible. He did a good job to escape pressure. - The short passing game seems to have been the game plan. - He did well to recognize the defender had his back turned on his big TD play.

Mahomes was so surprised by being on the wrong side of a bad luck play he short circuited and had a meltdown on the sideline after the game.

Even Jackson's two big passes weren't even great throws. Really just excellent plays by the skill players.

Seems that way based on the coverage and how they vote on MVP.

Regardless of fault, it was still talked about a large portion of the week in the sports media because Allen is held to some ridiculous standard. Doubt the Flowers miss even gets mentioned past tomorrow morning.

He made nice throws, but his only TD was on a busted coverage play. I think almost any QB makes that play. To be fair, the Chiefs ran more in the red zone tonight, so he didn't pad his stats.

He was constantly in the backfield forcing Jackson to scramble. Dude is next level.

I remember the Eagles game last year where Gabe Davis cut the wrong way and it made it look like Allen missed him for a game winning TD. It's all anybody talked about for like 3 days.

They will all experience amnesia where we didn't see Jackson attempt a pass more than 5 yards down the field for almost 3 quarters.

That last pass was also super high and fast. Jackson could have made it a touch lower or a touch softer and it's probably a TD. Likely seems like a great TE.

Looks pretty clearly out to me, ouch

Jackson with 3 pretty bad passes in a row. WR bailed him out on the first one.

That really looked like it hurt

This is why Lamar Jackson gets MVPs. This game he looked pretty terrible and he still has a 95 passer rating somehow and a decent amount of rushing yards.

2 minute drill with no timeouts. I'm thinking a pick.

On the replay all 3 guys mistimed their jumps. Mahomes caught it basically back on the ground already.

McDermott is a good enough coach to make the playoffs (see the Tyrod Taylor Bills), so no they wouldn't be the Buffalo Sabres of the NFL.

The first guy pushed Mahomes in bounds, and the other guy grazes his legs while he's still airborne.

That was not a late hit at all

With my conspiracy hat on, they put their thumb on the scale this drive because they want to make the end of the game as close as possible. Give the Ravens another drive.

Same here, but I wouldn't read into it like it was indicative of a big rookie season.

On a gadget rushing play and blown coverage that my grandmother could walk in if she managed to catch it.

Didn't he say post-draft that he had a group of WR that he considered all in the same tier, so he traded down knowing he would get at least one of them?

Worthy is so fast that he is confusing the opposing defense into not covering his half of the field.

Mahomes has the full dead weight going limp thing perfected when he gets touched out of bounds. Allen has a more theatrical throwing of his body to the ground in his flops.
