Question

True or false? Baltimore scored more rushing touchdowns last year when Joe Flacco was starting at quarterback.

Answer

True. The Ravens scored 11 rushing touchdowns in the nine games Flacco started. They scored only 8 rushing touchdowns in the eight games Lamar Jackson started including the playoffs. One of the touchdowns scored in the Flacco games came on a 1-yard run when Jackson came in as a change-of-pace goal-line quarterback. (Baltimore did run for over twice as many yards when Jackson was playing – 212 per game versus only 93 before the quarterback switch.)
