Jackson is in his contract year, and after negotiations failed in the offseason, he decided to bet on himself. So far, it looks like the Ravens will be required to offer a lot more to their quarterback than they initially hoped. However, there are some who still have doubts about Jackson. One of them is Christopher Russo. He believes that Jackson still hasn’t performed well in the playoffs, and that is a major concern. Here’s what Russo said about Lamar Jackson on First Take this morning:

Russo continued:

He concluded by saying:

Lamar Jackson has had his fair share of struggles in the playoffs, but he has continued to improve on hs game. Before getting injured last season, he was playing at MVP caliber, and this season he might go on to win the MVP as well.

If the Ravens are healthy, they have a roster that is capable of winning the Super Bowl. Jackson will certainly hope to prove his doubters wrong in the playoffs this season.

Lamar Jackson will face a tough test in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills

If the Ravens want to put the world on notice, defeating early Super Bowl favorites the Buffalo Bills is a good place to start. Both teams are currently 2-1, having lost to the same opponent, the Miami Dolphins. Lamar Jackson will go against Josh Allen, and both quarterbacks have been excellent this season.

Both these teams could well meet each other in the playoffs this season and this will be something of a litmus test for them. With plenty at stake and even more to prove, keep an eye out for this Week 4 matchup.
