But Joe, Lamar Jackson returning this week, it appears, as he's ramping things up in a big way on Thursday.

Yeah, indications are that this is what a path to playing on Sunday would look like, right? You would go limited or whatever it was on Wednesday, and then you would be out there.

But still, you do a little bit more, do a little bit more each day and see how you respond and see how you can handle it, and then you gear up for Sunday.

And when I did projections before the season, and I like to use passer rating and quarterback rating to base a lot of what I think is going to happen, because it's been true most of the time, about 80% of the time.

can i caveat this for you sure because it's a measure of what happened in the passing game is why it tells us that it tells us who passed the ball the best in a game much like epa per play often tells us who did something the best in a game it's a measure of an offense we know that passer rating is a flawed stat is why i bring this up because there's people out there that are pass rating stupid why are we talking about password rating there's so much it's because it tells you how well a team pass the ball overall.

Because if one team throws two interceptions, well, guess what? That team is more likely to lose a game than the team who was very efficient with the ball, took care of the ball, uh, Everything goes into account for yards per attempt and touchdowns versus interceptions, so it works.

But what I was going to say is the Ravens always pop up as this extreme challenge because they take care of the football with Lamar Jackson.

They've been mixed overall throughout the years in Lamar's era, sometimes not having a great pass rush, but they do get their hands on the ball, and they do make it tough.

Now Joe burrow has had success against the Ravens defense, largely averaging over 300 yards per game, a 99 passer rating.
