After Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens dominated the Los Angeles Rams in a 45-6 win on Monday Night Football, longtime safety - and former Raven - Eric Weddle verbalized what the final box score showed.

"I kid you not," the 13-year veteran said, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. "Half of the time, I didn't know who had the ball."

Baltimore finished the night with a season-high 285 rushing yards on 48 carries, outgaining the reigning NFC champions 480-221 in total yards while scoring 40-plus points for a third consecutive game. Mark Ingram led his club with 111 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries, while Jackson posted 95 yards on eight rush attempts.

"You guys all saw what I was trying to stop out there," Weddle said. "What they're doing on offense - a lot of times, I wouldn't know for a few seconds if he handed it or if he still had it. Imagine the whole defense - you're trying to play your rules and play the guy, and these guys are just coming downhill and doubling and getting extra gaps, and you're trying to figure out what's going on."

Baltimore scored a touchdown on all six possessions with Jackson under center and outgained Los Angeles 31-14 on total first downs.

"(Jackson's) playing outstanding. Their defense is playing outstanding," Weddle said. "We got our faces peeled off. You guys watched it."

The 9-2 Ravens have now outscored their opponents 172-46 since Week 9. Averaging 222 passing yards and 210 rushing yards per game, they have a chance to become the first team in NFL history to average 200-200 in yardage over a full season.
