Is Lamar Jackson the king of “Monday Night Football”? Well, the Baltimore Ravens star is certainly making a case for that title following his Week 12 performance against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jackson finished his latest Monday performance with 177 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-22 pass completion without an interception. He also made his mark on the ground, tallying eight carries for 15 yards and a touchdown.
While it wasn’t easy, Jackson and the Ravens took the 30-23 win. Justice Hill’s 51-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter allowed Baltimore to get a 30-16 cushion, and they held on for the win.
After the contest, the NFL posted some interesting stats about Jackson and his career performance during “Monday Night Football” games. Apparently, the numbers show that the Ravens signal-caller is a big-time performer during Monday contests.

Unfortunately for fans, the Ravens no longer have a “Monday Night Football” schedule for the rest of the season. They do have a weekday matchup on Christmas Day against the Houston Texans, but the Baltimore faithful will have to wait until next season to see if Jackson will be able to continue his Monday dominance.
