Rashod Bateman News: Gets into end zone Thursday
Bateman hauls in first career touchdown
Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman hauled in his first career touchdown reception in the Ravens' 27-22 win over the Jets on Thursday Night Football.
Bateman, a first-round pick by the Ravens in the 2021 NFL Draft, has been a key part of the Ravens' offense this season, leading the team in receiving yards through the first three weeks of the season.
Bateman's touchdown came on a 55-yard pass from quarterback Lamar Jackson in the second quarter. Bateman beat Jets cornerback Bryce Hall on a deep route and hauled in the pass in stride, giving the Ravens a 14-3 lead.
Bateman's touchdown was a big moment for the Ravens, who have been looking for a consistent receiving threat alongside Mark Andrews. Bateman has shown that he can be that guy, and his touchdown on Thursday was a sign of things to come.
What does Bateman's touchdown mean for the Ravens?
Bateman's touchdown is a big boost for the Ravens' offense. It shows that they have a reliable receiver who can make big plays down the field.
Bateman's touchdown is also a sign that the Ravens' offense is starting to click. Jackson is playing well, and the Ravens have a number of weapons on offense that they can use to attack defenses.
The Ravens are now 3-1 on the season, and they are looking like a legitimate contender in the AFC. Bateman's touchdown is a big reason why.
What's next for Bateman?
Bateman will look to continue his strong start to the season when the Ravens take on the Colts on Sunday. The Colts have a tough defense, but Bateman has shown that he can make plays against anyone.
If Bateman can continue to produce at a high level, he will be a major weapon for the Ravens' offense this season.
