While the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost two key pieces of their offense on Monday night, Lamar Jackson was absolutely cooking on offense to lead the Baltimore Ravens to a 41-31 victory. 

The Ravens are now 5-2 on the year, while the Bucs fell to 4-3.

Jackson was 17-of-22 through the air for 281 yards, finding his tight end Mark Andrews twice for a touchdown, while Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, and Rashod Bateman each caught their own score from their dynamic quarterback as well.
