  "account": "Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been deemed \"worth a blank check\" by NFL observers following the team's 33-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The absence of the two-time MVP has revealed underlying issues in the offense, with Joe Fagnano stepping in for both Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley as the starter. Fagnano's performance, which included 60 passing yards, two interceptions, and no touchdowns, has highlighted the drastic decline in the Ravens' offensive capabilities without Jackson. ESPN's Sam Block noted the team's 4-5 record and suggested that Jackson deserves MVP votes due to his impact on the franchise. Analysts have also expressed concerns about the team's competitiveness without Jackson, with Pedro Rhormes describing Baltimore as \"mediocre in every aspect\" without him.",
  "summary": "The Baltimore Ravens have, understandably, looked like a much different team without Lamar Jackson running the offense. His absence has exposed problems that were harder to spot when the two-time MVP was healthy and making plays.",
