Lamar Jackson

In ending a two-game losing streak, the Ravens (7-7) looked like a playoff team, recording their most complete performance of the season. And by throwing touchdown passes and running for first downs, Jackson took another step toward looking like his old self.

"I believe I told you guys early on in the week that I was feeling better, like Thursday," Jackson said. "I guess you guys had to see it to believe it."

Jackson's final numbers were pedestrian. He recorded the fewest completions of his eight-year career in a full game, connecting on 8-of-12 passes for 150 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Jackson's production lately has dipped in tandem with his reduced practice time, the story pointed out. He has missed at least one full practice in each of the past five games, sitting out for the most part because of injuries (knee, ankle and toe), the story continued. While his numbers last week weren't what fantasy owners have become used to, he was producing touchdowns again. Hopefully those who played Lamar in Week 15 have advanced in the playoffs. The Ravens and Jackson get the Patriots in Week 16.
