- Baltimore’s pass rush has done its part.
- Through three games, the Ravens have six sacks, and Nnamdi Madubuike was the highest-graded defensive lineman in the NFL by Pro Football Focus in his first game back.
- Malaki Starks and Jaylinn Hawkins have both played huge workloads — Starks has been on the field for 99.4 percent of snaps, Hawkins for 90.3 percent — but the results have not matched the usage.
- Jackson has played just one defensive snap all season, but he has already made himself noticeable in other ways.
- If the current safety play is not holding up and the defense keeps needing more from the back end, then giving Jackson a chance becomes less of a side note and more of a practical next step.
- Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans offers the next chance to show that.
