Contradictions

100%

Examples:

  • The author uses a quote from Morgan Moses to make it seem like Lamar Jackson's performance was solely due to his teammates blocking for him. However, this is not true as Jackson himself ran behind left tackle Ronnie Stanley and downfield towards right tackle Morgan Moses before he blocked for him.

Deceptions

90%

Examples:

  • The article contains several deceptive practices such as exaggerating the Ravens' situation in the first half and attributing Jackson's success to his teammates rather than his own skills.
