OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens showed confidence in Rashod Bateman, and so far he’s delivered. For most of his career, Bateman has taken one step forward and one step back. But this season his health and productivity have aligned. He’s given Lamar Jackson another target that the star quarterback increasingly seems to trust. Bateman has 31 catches for 501 yards. That’s just 14 yards shy of his career high. He’s already doubled his career best with four touchdown catches.
