This won’t be a particularly memorable win for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens’ offense.
Despite being one of the better units in the league this season, Jackson and Co. struggled to get much going against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night in a 20-10 win at SoFi Stadium.
In fact, prior to a late touchdown by rookie Zay Flowers with 1:36 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Ravens had scored just 13 points and were clinging on to a three-point lead for most of the final period.
Baltimore still finished with 361 yards of total offense but it was clear that something was not right as they failed to punish a Chargers’ defense that is ranked among the worst in the league
It was especially pedestrian as the Ravens have scored more than 30 points in each of its last five games.
Luckily, their defense was not messing around as it forced four turnovers and sacked Justin Herbert three times. That defensive line was basically living in Herbert’s face for most of the night, causing all sorts of problems.
Unfortunately, the main talking point among fans was how poor the offense was for Baltimore.

The story of the Ravens’ offense mostly all season:
– Show up for one half
– Go MIA for the other
Aaron Schatz 🏈 @ASchatzNFL
Disappointing night from the Ravens offense tonight, because the Chargers defense is not good.
Edwin Porras, DPT @FBInjuryDoc
The Ravens offense really just does the bare minimum huh?
Ariel Epstein @ArielEpstein
The way the Ravens offense is treating their defense right now is why I HATE group projects.
Sarah Ellison @sgellison
Ravens defense has delivered three turnovers, but the offense has only produced 13 points. It’s now 13-10, and the offense needs to find something to help the defense out and put this game away.
Ken Weinman @KenWeinmanSport
Mike Tirico said Ravens offense has been less effective in second half. He’s wrong. They’ve been ineffective
Kurt Benkert @KurtBenkert
What do you know – Ravens offense stalling and Gus Edwards (your work horse) no where to be found.
Against a team with an offense that could spark off at any point in time.
Idk why the Ravens are trying to be so cute on offense right now, get back to you. 🚌💨
Leger Douzable @LegerDouzable
Ravens deserve to lose this game the way the offense has played today
Bo Smolka @bsmolka
The Ravens offense has accomplished little, with five first downs on their past five possessions. This is where a $250M QB is expected, and paid, to take over the game.
500 🏎 @Kameron_Hay
Bad showing by the Ravens offense tonight. Todd Monken just up there pressing buttons after the first two drives lol
Leger Douzable @LegerDouzable
This Ravens offense is so confusing
Dev Panchwagh @devpanchwagh
Just an unbelievably frustrating game from this offense. Making big plays but dopey mistakes. Some of the play calling has been just befuddling. And then there is the lack of challenges from Harbaugh on clear 1st down gains. And lack of consecutive attempts from the RBs. #Ravens
Chris @DaRuffWay_
Ravens offense too flawed for a long playoff run IMO.
They were fortunate to win this game which is crazy
Matt Wise @TheMattWise
The #Ravens offense should be SPRINTING to the locker room to get to their phones.
Hop on the internet.
Buy every single defensive player & coach a reallyyyyyy nice gift.
Take advantage of those Cyber Monday deals.
It’s the least you can do.#RavensFlock

Baltimore Ravens defense continued to salvage this ball game for a Ravens offense that’s been stagnant in scoring.
Jackson and the Ravens will now head into the bye week as the top overall seed in the AFC before another matchup against a Southern California squad when the Los Angeles Rams head to Baltimore on Dec. 10.
