Harbaugh said Jackson and several other players got stuck in traffic because the Secret Service shut down roads due to President Donald Trump attending the Army-Navy game Saturday afternoon.

No matter what, the Ravens weren’t departing without their star quarterback.

“I knew he was going to get there. I knew the plane wasn’t going to leave [without him],” Harbaugh said.

“We did have a dilemma, because the weather was coming in – there was a problem. If we didn’t get in at a certain time, we were going to have to go to Louisville and bus up. So, you had to make a decision. Are we going to bus from Louisville and put Lamar on a plane?”

Jackson’s stat line won’t blow away any onlookers, but his experience proved vital in critical situations in a critical game.

In the second quarter, the two-time MVP zipped a sidearm throw to DeAndre Hopkins that turned into a 32-yard gain. Three plays later, Jackson made a check at the line to counter a Bengals blitz. With Bengals defensive end Myles Murphy closing in, Jackson tossed the ball to Rasheen Ali, who was wide open in the flat and went 30 yards to the house for his first career touchdown.
