The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers face off again on Saturday with the AFC North crown still in limbo, and if the Ravens win, they move into a tie with the Steelers for first place.
Both teams have been shaky of late and are looking for a big win to spring them toward a division crown, but one analyst reminded fans about a big concern regarding Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
In the latest of his regular appearances on “The Ross Tucker Podcast,” Greg Cosell pointed out “Jackson’s 0-4 in the last four games (against Pittsburgh)…one thing that the Steelers do really well and Lamar has struggled with is a lot of disguise and late rotation in coverage.”

Jackson’s woes against the Steelers have been well documented, as they have been his kryptonite since entering the NFL.
He has only beaten them one time as a starter, and that was in 2019 in a game where he threw three interceptions, and overall he has five touchdowns and eight interceptions against the Steelers in his career.
Jackson is having a career year as a passer, but his worst game of the season was once again against the Steelers a few weeks ago when he went 16-for-33 for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
Jackson and the Ravens have gotten plenty of criticism in recent years for falling short in the playoffs, but before they get over that hump, they need to exorcise this demon first and find a way to beat their biggest rival.
