Lamar Jackson’s comments on Ravens’ dominant win serve as warning to rest of NFL

When the Baltimore Ravens are good, they've shown the potential to be a scary level of impressive. This was on full display in Week 9 during a 37-3 victory over a Seattle Seahawks team that had just two losses prior to the matchup. 

Quarterback Lamar Jackson and company made it look easier than it should have been while taking down the second five-win team in three weeks, previously defeating a then-5-1 Detroit Lions group by a score of 38-6.

The most impressive part? The dominant win didn't require Jackson to put up video game-type numbers. He finished the day with 187 passing yards while completing 21-of-26 attempts and tacking on 60 rushing yards on 10 attempts. 

Following the victory, Jackson even admitted that with how the Ravens played Seattle, they wouldn't "even need to hit [a] peak or stride," as Pro Football Talk's Myles Simmons detailed.

“If we’re playing like that, we don’t even need to hit [a] peak or stride,” Jackson said in his postgame press conference, adding the Ravens need to “just keep staying locked in how we are and just playing every opponent the same way [with] physicality, being smart, and defending what’s ours — our home turf.”

It's a pretty scary thought to consider that the Ravens aren't even at a peak in a performance like the one they put together in Week 9. It also serves as a warning to the rest of the NFL about how good this group can be when they're firing on a cylinders.
