Impact of Jackson's Absence
The reliance on Jackson is statistically significant for the Baltimore franchise. Since the beginning of the 2019 season, the team holds a 79-32 record with the two-time NFL MVP under center, maintaining an average of 28.4 points per game. In contrast, the Ravens have struggled in his absence, posting a 6-11 record and seeing their scoring average dip to 17.6 points per game when he is unavailable.
As the team prepares for the Falcons, the coaching staff will continue to monitor Jackson's recovery closely. For now, the focus remains on his day-to-day progress, with the team hoping to avoid an extended period without their primary offensive leader.
