After a hot start to the 2023 NFL season, the Baltimore Ravens suffered their worst loss of the season thus far in Week 5, with Lamar Jackson and company unable to get the best of the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers.
As a result of the loss, Baltimore now sits behind Pittsburgh in the AFC North division standings, with both teams now sporting 3-2 records.
The Ravens offense simply couldn’t get going against the Steelers in Week 5, with Jackson’s frustration being evident on the sideline, as connecting with his receivers seemed to be quite the challenge for the one-time NFL MVP.
According to Sarah Ellison of Ravens Vault, Jackson was asked about the dropped passes in the loss to the Steelers but refused to criticize his receiving crops for a poor performance.
Lamar Jackson didn’t throw his receivers under the bus when asked about dropped passes by the media:

In Week 6, Jackson and company will attempt to bounce back with a vengeance as the team will play host to the Tennessee Titans in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Baltimore is the better all-around football team coming into this matchup with the Titans, but it remains to be seen whether the outcome will reflect that.
