Baltimore Beatdown on Lamar Jackson
From the article
Quarterback Lamar Jackson missed four games with a hamstring injury and never looked as explosive as a runner after returning. His 2025 pressure-to-sack rate was the highest of his career and one of the highest in the entire league. Will a healthier Jackson resemble his pre-2025 self? Or was last season's decline in his rushing efficiency the beginning of an age-related trend?
STACKED’s take
Jackson's 2025 rushing decline and career-high pressure-to-sack rate raise durability concerns.
Anthony Dabbundo raises significant concerns about Jackson's 2026 outlook. Jackson missed four games with a hamstring injury in 2025 and never looked as explosive as a runner after returning. His 2025 pressure-to-sack rate was the highest of his career and one of the highest in the entire league. The key question: will a healthier Jackson resemble his pre-2025 self, or was last season's decline in rushing efficiency the beginning of an age-related trend? Jackson's mobility has always helped Baltimore's offensive line perform better than the sum of its parts, but a less explosive version would place more pressure on the line in protection and on Jackson to operate the traditional passing game.
