Ravens star Lamar Jackson launches 5 touchdowns to crush the Giants

Ravens star Lamar Jackson launches 5 touchdowns to crush the Giants

The highest point spread of the NFL season came to fruition on Sunday when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the New York Giants 35-14, with Lamar Jackson throwing five touchdown passes to lead the way for the Herd.

Baltimore is now 9-5 on the season after its bye in Week 14. Meanwhile, the Giants are eyeing the first overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft after going 2-12.

It was an inauspicious start for the Ravens after Justice Hill put them in excellent field position with a long kickoff return. However, Jackson failed on what would have been a first-down run on the first offensive snap.

But the Ravens forced two consecutive punts from the Giants before finally finding their way into the paint.

It was Mark Andrews who reached the end zone on a 13-yard strike from Jackson, setting the highest Ravens record in franchise history with his 48th career score.

Andrews finished the game with two catches for 24 yards and the score.

However, Rashod Bateman was the Ravens’ leading receiver in this game despite only having three catches. He scored twice for Jackson, including a nice running pass for a 49-yard score.

Bateman would score again on the next drive, this time from 20 yards in the back left corner of the end zone.

The game would be 21-7 at halftime, with the Giants able to get Devin Singletary into the end zone to at least get on the board.

But Baltimore set the tone in the second half with a 12-play drive that lasted 6:38 and made it 28-7, with Devontez Walker scoring his first career touchdown, a 21-yard catch -and-run.

Meanwhile, the Giants left Tim Boyle in the game after Tommy DeVito suffered a head injury. He was able to find Malik Nabers in the end zone, who had 10 catches for 82 yards.

But that came after Jackson found Hill for another long touchdown, this time a 27-yard catch-and-run for his fifth and final touchdown of the day.

Jackson was extremely efficient in this game, going 21-for-25 for 290 yards and also rushing for 65 yards on six carries.

It was a rather dull day for Derrick Henry, who ran 14 times for 67 yards.
