The man who has brought the whole NFL world to its feet with his performance and has made history last year is unstoppable this year as well. And that’s the QB who drives the Baltimore Ravens to victory every year. Yes, we are talking about Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has astounded fans with his talent and hard work. It is widely acknowledged that the quarterback is one of the top players in the game. But, it appears that his teammates are experiencing some difficulties.

Confused? Actually, the talk here is about WR Rashod Bateman, who recently revealed insights about Lamar Jackson. The WR talked about this while appearing in an episode of the program Gojo and Golic. When questioned about his QB, Bateman surprised everyone by admitting that it is difficult to work with him: “Sometimes it’s a hard job, coz him[Derrick Henry] and Lamar is, you never know where they’re gonna be at.”

No, this was not a bad statement; rather, the WR commended the quarterback in this fashion. Bateman noted that Lamar Jackson is so talented on the field that it sometimes is difficult to keep up. Although, the WR is bothered by this, but he also finds it amazing: “The longer you continue to do something, it continues to slow down. Lamar’s been in the NFL for a long time now … Being cautious with the ball. Overall, he’s grown as a football player. I think it’s showing right now”

Why great, you ask? Actually, as a result of the quarterback’s outstanding performance, Bateman is pushing himself to improve as well. And obviously, everyone likes to improve.

Well, enough discussing the two guys separately; let’s take a look at why they are a duo of destruction for the Ravens.

Lamar Jackson and Rashod Bateman have always been a magical duo

The Baltimore Ravens hit the lottery when they signed a talent like Jackson. The only issue for them was that a QB of such caliber required a superb wide receiver as well. Rashod Bateman stepped in and handled the problem. Since then, the WR-QB tandem has been the team’s backbone, smashing any defense that comes their way.

The duo has played 35 games together and has had outstanding performances. And numbers paint an incredible picture for them, as Bateman has 97 receptions for 1421 yards with Jackson. The WR’s impressive stats don’t end there; he also has six touchdowns. This demonstrates how effective the combination has been on the field and with their team.

This season, too, they have performed admirably on gridiron. Although it is too early to display their data as WR-QB, we may take a peek at their individual statistics:

Rashod Bateman: In seven appearances, the WR has 21 receptions and 30 reception targets for a total of 394 yards. This is beyond unbelievable, as the man has an average of 18.8 with three touchdowns and 59 long receptions.

Lamar Jackson: In seven appearances, the QB has attempted 198 passes and completed 135 of them. His completion percentage this season is 68.9%. The completed passes covered a total of 1810 yards. With an average of 9.1, the quarterback has an impressive 15 touchdowns. Well, this definitely shows why the QB has been getting praise from big names.

But do you believe the duo will advance their team to the playoffs this season?
