The Baltimore Ravens humiliated the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, September 8th, 2019 with a 37-3 victory. The Ravens dominated the game from start to finish, outgaining the Seahawks in total yards, 459-225. The Ravens’ defense was particularly impressive, holding the Seahawks to just three points and forcing four turnovers.
The Ravens’ offense was led by quarterback Lamar Jackson, who threw for 324 yards and five touchdowns. Jackson was able to spread the ball around, connecting with nine different receivers. He also ran for 45 yards, making him the team’s leading rusher. This performance earned Jackson a perfect passer rating of 158.3, the first time a quarterback has achieved this feat since 2015.
The Ravens’ defense was equally impressive, holding the Seahawks to just 225 total yards and forcing four turnovers. Linebacker Patrick Onwuasor had a particularly strong game, recording two sacks and an interception. The Ravens also had two defensive touchdowns, one from safety Earl Thomas and one from cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
The Ravens’ victory was a statement win, showing that they are a legitimate Super Bowl contender. This is especially impressive considering that the Ravens had to travel across the country to play in Seattle, one of the toughest places to play in the NFL.
The Ravens will look to continue their success when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. If they can replicate their performance against the Seahawks, they will be a force to be reckoned with in the AFC.
