Jackson is hardly the first running quarterback to provide an edge, but he may be the best yet at executing an option-based game plan. No matter how much defenses prepared for the moment Jackson handed the ball off or took it himself, they reacted slowly. Watching every snap on Game Pass' Coaches Film, it was remarkable to see how often linebackers and defensive ends stood frozen in turf, waiting a full second too long to see where the ball went. Even worse were the aggressive defenses that declared their intent too early, only to be caught in the backfield while Jackson or Ravens running back Gus Edwards gashed them.
