Jackson thought it was better than handing the ball over to Patrick Mahomes by choosing to strike with a minute remaining, sweeping down the body stack for the two yards that would earn him his first career victory over the Chiefs of Kansas City.
“‘Do you want to go? I’m like, ‘Hell, yeah!’ I said it again, like [in] Seattle two years ago, “Jackson told reporters.” He told me about the play, and I was like, ‘We should flaunt them.’ And “Coach Urb”, [quarterbacks coach] James Urban, my QB trainer, said to me, “You gotta go”, I was like, “Dude, I have to stop first, no matter what. I have to jump, dive through a defender, ”and our O-line did a great job fending off those guys. We got the first down for the win.”
Having previously lost three straight to Mahomes and the Chiefs, Jackson recovered from two first-quarter interceptions to throw for 239 yards and a touchdown as well as rushing for 113 yards and two scores on the way to a 36-35 victory.
Both rushing touchdowns arrived in the fourth quarter as the Ravens overturned an 11-point deficit, Jackson flipping into the end zone to finish it in style with a decisive one-yard score against the team he once called his “kryptonite”

Rookie outdoors linebacker Odafe Oweh in the meantime introduced himself emphatically with an enormous play to recuperate his personal pressured fumble on Clyde Edwards-Helaire and all-but save the sport with simply over a minute remaining on the clock.
“On the play, I used to be purported to jam contained in the ‘B man,’ which I did, however as soon as I did that, I noticed it was clear,” he mentioned. “The O-lineman was holding me a bit of bit, so I could not actually get on the market how I wished to; however, I bought out sufficient – as a lot as I may have the ability to slap the ball out.
As quickly as I slapped it, I noticed the ball on the bottom; I used to be like, ‘Oh yeah, it is time. Get that ball. Attempt to win the sport.’”
