The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec: “The Ravens have now won five straight games to improve to 5-2. In doing so, they’ve left little doubt that they currently possess the AFC’s top offense. They’re averaging 35 points and 479 yards per game over their winning streak after putting up 508 yards on Todd Bowles’ team Monday night. Their 244 rushing yards Monday makes them just the fourth team since 1980 to have at least 1,400 rushing yards through seven games.”
The Baltimore Sun’s Brian Wacker: “The Ravens have the best offense in the NFL led by perhaps the best player int he NFL. Coach John Harbaugh said last week that Lamar Jackson is playing the best football of his career, and he’s not wrong. Jackson was in total command. Even when Baltimore fell behind 10-0, he was unbothered and shredded Tampa Bay’s secondary. Then Baltimore leaned on the legs of NFL leading rusher Derrick Henry to help salt away the victory.”
The Baltimore Sun’s Childs Walker: “The Ravens have never had an offense like this. You give them a crack, as Baker Mayfield did with a pair of second-quarter interceptions, and it becomes almost impossible to keep up. …They were ruthless against a quality opponent that jumped ahead 10-0.”
The Baltimore Sun’s C.J. Doon: “This offense is truly something to behold. After a sluggish start, the Ravens looked like they could be in trouble playing on the road against a high-powered offense that could go shot-for-shot with them. Then Lamar Jackson simply took over, leading the Ravens to 34 straight points to put the game out of reach.”
The Baltimore Banner’s Kyle Goon: “It’s hard not to get high on the Ravens after watching another dominant Monday Night Football performance, a rise that has hit yet another new plateau after five straight wins. We know this run game is unstoppable, we know Lamar Jackson is an MVP-caliber quarterback, and we know this defense (in spite of its foibles) is chock full of playmakers. Getting a huge victory over a legit Tampa Bay team is a good marker of just how much better the top tier of the NFL is than the competition.”
Baltimore Beatdown’s Stephen Bopst: “The Ravens offense looks like they’re playing a different game right now. After a sluggish start to the game, Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore offense kicked it back into gear by scoring 34 unanswered points. Don’t be fooled by the final score, the Ravens won this game handily, enroute to 41 points and over 500 yards of offense. If it weren’t for penalties and self-inflicted mistakes, they might have scored 50.”
Russell Street Report’s Nick Polinsky: “I think it’s safe to say this offense is without a doubt the most dangerous Ravens offense we’ve ever seen. Lamar Jackson has had two MVP seasons, yet we’ve never really seen the offense like this. The new addition of the king in the backfield has moved mountains; Derrick Henry is nearly unstoppable, and Lamar Jackson is doing whatever he wants at will.”
