Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson 'Doesn't Care About Stats' Amid Impressive Early Season Form

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is off to a good start to the season, but he doesn't care about his impressive stats; he's more focused on winning.

The Baltimore Ravens are sitting pretty atop the AFC North with a 7-2 record after dismantling the Seattle Seahawks 37-3 at M&T Bank Stadium. It was also another game in which Lamar Jackson was in total command of the offense.

While Jackson didn't have the big passing yard numbers (187 yards), he completed 80.8% of his passes (21/26) while also having 60 rushing yards on 10 attempts in the win as he did as he pleased.

But while Jackson's current average completion percentage sits at 71.5%, well above his best-ever in a season (66.1% MVP season in 2019), he revealed that nothing has changed and that he cares little about his stats; he just wants to win games.

“Just hard work, dedication,” Jackson said on why his completion percentage is so high. “Going out there just competing my tail off, that's all, nothing really changed just the percentage. I'm not just going to go and look and see what I did. I'm trying to win, I don't really care about the stats.”

The win on Sunday made it four consecutive wins for Baltimore as both sides of the ball, along with special teams, are starting to come together.

In that four-game win streak, the Ravens have obliterated the Detriot Lions (38-6) and the Seahawks (37-3), two teams many consider serious NFC challengers this season despite the fumbling issues.

But what is the secret to Baltimore's barnstorming run?

“I believe our whole team [is] just locked in,” Jackson said. “Every phase, special teams defense, offense, each and every week. I believe we gotten better [at] certain things in the game when we finish with games like we hard on ourselves about, but at the end of the day we're trying to get wins. I believe us just knowing each and every week it's a championship game to us, that's pretty much what it is we treating every game like a championship game until we finally there.”

Treating every game like it is the biggest game of the year has served the Ravens well thus far, and while there have been missteps along the way as the offense adjusted to Todd Monken's scheme, things are now starting to click.

We have seen what this Baltimore team can look like when firing on all cylinders, and if it keeps up, then maybe, just maybe, come the end of the season, it will be playing in a championship game for real.
