defenders to eat up the clock, with the Packers holding a double-digit lead for most of the second half. The splash plays surrounded a pounding game from running back A.J. Despite playing with an injured foot, Aaron Rodgers unleashed several dimes in traffic, connecting on big plays of 54, 43 28, and 22 yards. miscues to head into the bye week at 9-3. Green Bay churned out first downs, kept the ball away from Sean McVay's offense and capitalized on several L.A. Packers control ballgame wire to wire against spiraling Rams.500, but the defense wasn't the culprit and Owusu-Koramoah was a major reason Cleveland had a stellar defensive showing, even if it will get lost in the final result. JOK tallied 12 tackles, two QB pressures, a tackle for loss, a QB hit and half a sack on Sunday night. It's difficult to celebrate the Browns in November, so why not April? Cleveland getting Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah in the second round is proving to be a steal on a weekly basis. Baltimore needed a big performance from its defense on Sunday and it got it. It's a number that makes you squint and check the box score again, but yes, the Browns gained a season-low 40 yards on the ground, with Brandon Williams, Patrick Queen and Tyus Bowser keying a defense that held Chubb to 16 yards and Hunt to 20. Even with a returning Kareem Hunt joining Nick Chubb, Cleveland went nowhere on the ground, tallying 40 yards as a team. Baltimore put a stop to it on Sunday night. But the Browns offense has always been led by arguably the best rushing attack in the NFL. Battered, bruised and errant with his throws, Mayfield looked much the same as he has of late. Browns' bread and butter can't spread offense.Good, bad and ugly matters not for the Ravens and Lamar. And yet, for the sixth time this season, the Ravens won by a touchdown or less. Jackson had a 46.5 QB rating and the aforementioned four INTs. A few plays later, Jackson found Andrews for the Ravens' only touchdown, as all their other points were provided by the automatic leg cannon that is Justin Tucker.
Still, when he scrambled and chucked up a pass to Andrews in the third quarter's opening drive for a 39-yard gain, Jackson briefly ignited the Ravens' offense and even got an appreciative handshake from Myles Garrett because of just how preposterous Jackson's abilities often are. Jackson threw four interceptions and they were all when targeting tight end Mark Andrews. Sunday night went from bowling-shoe ugly to playground football and Jackson is going to win that game. But with Jackson at the helm, the Ravens have the ultimate X-factor and a player who can turn in an overall horrendous game, but do enough with his legs, arm and improvisation to win you a close one if you let Baltimore hang around - which it often does. As the game played on, the chaos waned to some extent, but there were never any dalliances with this being a beautiful football game. There were some dropped passes, a Chase McLaughlin field goal that hit the upright and doinked inward for three points and just a host of puzzlement that was arduous for the eyes to put together. Baker Mayfield answered one of those golden opportunities by fumbling away possession while trying to get off a screen pass, the ball just falling backward from his grasp as he back-pedaled from the pass rush. Lamar Jackson had three interceptions, including two on back-to-back throws. Evidence of the ugliness came in the second quarter, when the teams had a combined five turnovers.
In many ways this was an old-fashioned AFC North slobber-knocker. Lamar, Ravens win a(nother) close one.
