3. Jackson has to be clutch:

One of the things that Jackson has going for him is that he has the clutch gene. He put that on display against the Cardinals when the offense sealed the Ravens second win. Jackson has to keep showing off how clutch he can be in the big moments. This game is huge for the Ravens and Jackson is going to have to lift the Ravens to a win. The defense can do it’s part, the running game can do it’s part however if Jackson doesn’t live up to the moment the Ravens will be in trouble.

If this game lives up to the billing the Ravens will have a chance to win the game. This means that Jackson will have a chance to be the hero. The Chiefs are going to make Jackson have to beat them with his arm. Jackson has to keep drives alive with big throws. Jackson has started to make his doubters look foolish. The one thing his critics cling to is that the Ravens have beaten two bad teams. This is Jackson’s moment and he has to shine in the big game spotlight.

The good news for the Ravens is this just means that Jackson has to keep being exactly who he is. This season Jackson has been money on third down. That has to continue in Kansas City. Jackson has missed on some throws however when the Ravens needed it, he has come through. If the Ravens get more of the same from Jackson they have a great chance to win this game.
