\"Justin<\/p>\n

Jets quarterback Justin Fields ran for a touchdown in the first quarter and he\u2019s now added a passing touchdown to the ledger.<\/p>\n

Fields hit wide receiver John Metchie for a 22-yard score that cut New England\u2019s lead to 21-14 with 3:10 left to play in the third quarter. It was Metchie\u2019s first touchdown catch of the Jets and he was all by himself to catch the pass after safety Jaylinn Hawkins fell down.<\/p>\n

The touchdown came on a third down that was set up by wide receiver Adonai Mitchell\u2019s second dropped pass of the night.<\/p>\n

Fields is 10-of-15 for 77 yards and the Jets defense will try to keep the lead from growing before the ball is back in his hands.<\/p>\n

After\u00a0missing practice on Wednesday, the Baltimore Ravens saw their star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, return to the practice field on Thursday. He was absent on Wednesday due to knee soreness, but just as Head Coach John Harbaugh\u00a0anticipated, Jackson was back in full capacity on Thursday.<\/p>\n

While Jackson’s health was never too much in question ahead of their\u00a0Week 11 matchup\u00a0with the Cleveland Browns, it was still worrisome to see him pop up on the injury report with a knee issue. The two-time MVP is taking snaps\u00a0behind one of the worst offensive lines in football this year, especially when it comes to the interior. Guards Andrew Vorhees and Daniel Faalele have struggled, and certainly have not helped in Jackson\u2019s return from his hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Still, Jackson will be ready to go on Sunday. Despite the poor performance of the offensive line, he has shown he can lead a steady, winning offense since he\u00a0retook the field in Week 9, and is as confident as ever heading into their bout in Cleveland.<\/p>\n

Following Thursday\u2019s practice, Jackson talked to the media about how he felt after being out of action the day before. When asked if he expects teams to blitz him more when he shows up on the injury report, he\u00a0gave a cool, calm, and collected response.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s cool with me,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cI\u2019m cool with it. We\u2019re gonna see.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In the past, blitzes have given the Ravens\u2019 offense problems. However, ever since Jackson has made significant growth as a passer, those problems have not loomed as large. The lackluster offensive line may have issues, but as far as Jackson is concerned, he is ready for any potential challenge that may lie ahead.<\/p>\n

The Browns have one of the fiercest defenses in the NFL in 2025. Through nine games, they are allowing the second-least amount of yards per game\u00a0at 264.9 yards, and their pass rush group has played a massive role in that.<\/p>\n

Their defensive front is headed by All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett, who is likely the best defensive player in the league. Cleveland has\u00a027 sacks this year, which ranks tied for eighth in the NFL, and 11 of those have come from Garrett.<\/p>\n

In Baltimore\u2019s Week 2 contest against the Browns, Jackson was sacked three times. Garrett, Devin Bush, and Cameron Thomas were the culprits. The Ravens still put up 41 points in that one, but defense and special teams helped out in that department.<\/p>\n

While the Ravens\u2019 offense line will likely have trouble against Cleveland\u2019s defensive front, Jackson\u2019s always shown an innate ability to stay composed when the pocket breaks down. If that happens again in Week 11, the 28-year-old should prove up for the challenge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
