The Baltimore Ravens have decided to rest quarterback Lamar Jackson and start Tyler Huntley in their regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. This decision has been met with some surprise, as Jackson has been one of the most dynamic players in the NFL this season.
Jackson has been a key part of the Ravens’ success this season, leading them to a 12-3 record and a division title. He has thrown for 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns, while also rushing for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns. He has been a major factor in the Ravens’ success, and his absence will be felt.
However, the Ravens have decided to rest Jackson in order to ensure he is healthy for the playoffs. With the team already having clinched a playoff spot, there is no need to risk Jackson’s health in a meaningless game.
In his place, the Ravens will start Tyler Huntley. Huntley is an undrafted rookie out of Utah who has yet to take a snap in an NFL game. He has been on the Ravens’ practice squad all season, and this will be his first opportunity to show what he can do in a real game.
The Ravens have high hopes for Huntley, and this game will give him a chance to prove himself. It will also give the Ravens a chance to evaluate him for the future. If he plays well, it could give the team some much-needed depth at the quarterback position.
It will be interesting to see how Huntley performs in his first NFL game. The Ravens are confident he can do well, and it will be exciting to see if he can live up to the expectations. No matter what happens, it is clear that the Ravens are looking out for Jackson’s health and are confident in Huntley’s abilities.
