Lamar Jackson Praises Rising Star Jayden Daniels After Epic Ravens Victory

In an exhilarating showdown on Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens edged past the Washington Commanders with a final score of 30-23, showcasing the talents of two dynamic quarterbacks: Lamar Jackson and rookie sensation Jayden Daniels.

After the game, Jackson took a moment to reflect on the performance of his counterpart. When asked if he felt motivated by the growing hype surrounding Daniels, the former MVP responded with admiration. “No, I believe [Daniels] deserves all the hype he’s getting,” Jackson stated. “He played a tremendous game out there. They just came up short. He’s been proving it. His rookie season — first six games he’s been playing amazing.”

Jackson's own performance was impressive, completing 20 of 26 passes for 323 yards, throwing one touchdown and one interception, while also adding 40 yards on the ground. Daniels, on the other hand, also shone brightly with 24 completions out of 35 attempts for 269 yards and two touchdown passes, along with 22 rushing yards.

The victory marked a significant turnaround for the Ravens, who have now secured four consecutive wins after a rocky start to the season, beginning at 0-2. “We’re just proving we can win games,” Jackson said. “We’re just playing Raven football right now. I don’t think that really proved anything like we are the best offense. There’s always room for improvement.”

This highly anticipated matchup not only highlighted the talent of Jackson and Daniels but also served as a reminder of the potential impact rookies can have in the league. As Daniels continues to shine in his inaugural season, fans and analysts alike are eager to see how he will handle the increasing pressure and expectations in the weeks to come.
