The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson are getting ready to host the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. Former Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan thinks he knows how to slow Jackson down.
Jackson has been on fire this season, going 13-3 as a starter and helping the Ravens win the AFC North. He set career-highs in pass completions, attempts, yards and yards per throw while adding 821 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Ahead of his showdown against the stout Kansas City defense, Lewan said he knew the formula to stop Jackson.
"There is a formula to beat Lamar and it's making him go East to West," Lewan said on Kay Adams' show, "Up & Adams." "Make him throw the football. With Pat, it's kind of like you plaster guys in coverage and hope to God you get to him with three or four.

"It's very difficult playing Pat and if you have the right athletes from Kansas City which they might, they could, they neutralize Jackson with that running capability."
