Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, has shown that the Pittsburgh Steelers are his worst enemy. He has already stolen two MVPs and is on track to win a third. He plays the game at an almost unfathomable speed and is undoubtedly one of the finest quarterbacks in the league. Despite this, Jackson is 1-3 versus his fiercest opponent and finds it difficult to get on the pitch and perform well when the Steelers are scheduled. Both the team’s confidence and Pittsburgh’s bragging rights are enhanced by it. However, the Steelers have been lucky enough to avoid Jackson’s dominance in recent years, so they aren’t foolish enough to overlook him.
Cameron Heyward, a seasoned defensive tackle, recently discussed the difficulty that awaits and what it would take to win the division in Week 11. According to Aaron Becker, Heyward stated, “On occasion, the ball has come our way a few times.” “He’s dicing us up, it’s not like that. You try to contain his incredible gift, but it’s impossible. Having the ball last is sometimes all that matters.
Jackson is playing the greatest football of his career, even with the hardware from prior seasons and his reputation of stellar performances. He is ranked third in terms of completion percentage over expectations, first in terms of predicted points added per play, and first in terms of success rate. His passing prowess has elevated him to new heights, solidifying his place among the league’s greatest players.
Jackson is the star of one of the league’s most feared teams, and he has an improved supporting cast that includes former Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson and running back Derrick Henry.
However, Pittsburgh is also a formidable team at 7-2. The Steelers have easily handled the easier portion of their schedule, and they defeated the dynamic Washington Commanders to start a tough second half.
With seasoned quarterback Russell Wilson leading the offence, Jackson can compete with high-octane groups, and this is possibly the greatest defence he will play this season. This isn’t a hobbling Pittsburgh club trying to beat a star on a bad night anymore. First place is at stake in this matchup between the AFC North’s titans. “There will be physical contact. After this, you will be sore. Since both of these teams are vying for the AFC North title, I believe it will feel like a playoff game,” Heyward remarked. “And then bring the energy.”
