NFL veteran, Rick Omenihu, has criticized 2-time MVP, Lamar Jackson, for not having the ability to handle the game against the Ravens, stating that defenses have already figured out Jackson. He also mentioned that he believes that Josh Allen is more difficult to tackle due to his large stature and strong arm strength than Jackson. Despite Jackson completing 63.6 percent of his throws for 2,549 yards and 21 touchdowns compared to seven interceptions last season, he was still considered difficult to slow down when healthy.
