Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is 8-5 but the flock is very much alive

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has been impeccable this season and team shortcomings won’t waver his leadership or confidence.

At 8-5, the Baltimore Ravens may have lost favor in the eyes of many, but they still have quarterback Lamar Jackson and a roster stacked full of competent talent ready to compete with top teams in the NFL.

Through 14 weeks, Jackson has thrown 29 touchdown passes, ranking second behind Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (33) for the most this season. Mistakes have been minimal for Jackson; he’s yielded just three interceptions, which arguably weren’t his fault but the result of dropped passes by his teammates. 

Despite team shortcomings, Jackson has continued the same optimism he had after losing the AFC Championship on January 28. This time, however, losses haven’t fallen primarily on his shoulders but have been primarily outside of his control.

Upcoming home AFC North matchups with the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers may be a testament to Jackson’s ability to turn things around, but first, the Ravens must take care of business against the New York Giants in Week 15.
