Ravens
Ravens QB Lamar Jackson lamented a miss on an open throw to first-round WR Zay Flowers deep that could have changed the outcome of the loss to the Browns on Sunday.
“I mean it’s right there. I’m pissed off about it, to be honest with you,” Jackson said via the team website. “I watched the game, and it’s like it might be a difference in the game if we connect with that one. Can’t dwell on it. Hopefully, this Thursday, we catch them when we want them, we have success with the deep ball, we connect and have chemistry there. I believe it’s there [because], in practice, we do it all the time. Those guys catch the ball down the field 40 yards, 50 yards down the field. We need to transition that over to the games, that’s all.”
“We’ve just got to make it happen,” Flowers added. “You miss sometimes. You’re not going to connect all the time. We’ve just got to keep building our connection and get it down.”
