Lamar Jackson

Press Conference


Ravens - 33, Texans - 16

Q. Lamar, first of all, could you take us through your decoy move on the Mark Ingram play and also what it was like to play without any noise whatsoever. We were told that they didn't pump in any crowd noise.

LAMAR JACKSON: My decoy move? It's kind of play wise just lineup outside and listen to direction after Mark. Offensive line did a great job. Get a defensive line push and Mark just made a great run.

Q. Lamar, after a game like today when you see the passes you make or don't make working on your own game and seeing how many times you read well, and I know you are your toughest critic. In a game like this how many mistakes do you feel like you made when you go back and watch a film?

LAMAR JACKSON: I don't know. Probably the touchdown pass to Pat was a bad throw, but he just made a he can had of a catch and the corner pass to Marquise. I wish I could have that back. Bring the ball down a little more. That's probably it, though.

Q. Over the past two games do you think teams are sort of spying you more and how are you going to adjust to that?

LAMAR JACKSON: Teams were spying on me last year, but we just have to watch film and see how it goes.

Q. Lamar, the run game today as a team, 230 yards, but you guys really spread it around. You spread the wealth. I mean J.K. had -- Gus had 73, J.K. 48, Ingram 55. I mean that's a lot of yards to three different guys and then you had yours as well. Can you talk about the run game?

LAMAR JACKSON: Man, like I said, offensive line doing a great job getting that push, getting the defensive line on their toes and our backs are just explosive. And they're good. That's why we got them here. They just did their job, and that's what we needed today to have success, besides the defense doing their job.

Q. Lamar, after a big win like this, but you also have a big game coming up against the Chiefs. How quickly do you shift your kind of focus to the Kansas Chiefs?

LAMAR JACKSON: Tomorrow I'll be right on it.

Q. Lamar, what does it mean for your offense when you can close out a game with I think it was 17 straight run plays and basically control the game the entire fourth quarter? What does that mean for an offense when you are having that kind of success late in the game?

LAMAR JACKSON: Keep running hard in practice. Keep working hard. Our offensive line just keep doing the great job that they're doing. Running backs just keep doing their job, and we know the sky's the limit.

Q. Lamar, especially early in the game we didn't see the ball in the backs' hands a whole lot, and there wasn't a whole lot of running. Was it a focus to get that running game going on that first drive of the third quarter because that seemingly was when you guys sort of took over the game and wore them out?

LAMAR JACKSON: Just trying to see what the defense was going to give us and then take advantage of that, and once we seen what they were doing, we just executed it.

Q. You talked about taking what the defense gives you. Do you kind of feel like at this point that no matter what is required in a given game moment, that you guys basically have the answer?

LAMAR JACKSON: I wouldn't say that. There's still room for improvement for us. We just gotta get in practice, get in the film room and just see what the defense is going to give us next week and so on.

Q. Lamar, I don't know if you heard me earlier, but they were saying on the broadcast there was no noise pumped into the stadium at all. It was complete silence. Was that a surprise for you, an advantage for you? Could you hear what the defense was saying at all?

LAMAR JACKSON: No. It was no noise last week, too. So it really didn't bother me. We had to focus on what we had to do on our side of the ball. The defense was adjusting to us. So no, I wasn't listening to the defensive calls.

Q. Lamar, I think you're up over 77 percent accuracy for this year. How good do you feel when you're back there throwing it around? Seems like you've taken your accuracy to another level.

LAMAR JACKSON: I feel good. But, you know, there's still some passes that I want back. But that's what I'm going to get at when I get out there on the practice field, that's when the mechanics and throws that I want or didn't have in the game, that's when that takes over. So it starts in practice.

Q. Anything today that you felt like you really missed out on?

LAMAR JACKSON: The corner to Marquise, and that pass -- the touchdown pass to pat could have been better. But that's about it.
