Lamar Jackson Says ‘Time is Ticking’ to Win Super Bowl With Ravens
Ahead of the Ravens' season, quarterback Lamar Jackson spoke about the "urgency" he feels to win a Super Bowl ring.
Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens' quarterback, has expressed the pressing need to secure a Super Bowl victory during his career. Despite being named NFL Most Valuable Player twice in 2019 and 2023, Jackson has yet to win a Super Bowl with the Ravens. The pressure to accomplish this milestone is felt even more intensely as he enters his ninth season, with time running out.
Speaking to CBS Sports' Evan Washburn, Jackson emphasized that his urgency to achieve this goal has not diminished over the years. In fact, he believes the pressure only intensifies as he gets older and not younger. Last season, the Ravens finished with a 6-7 record, missing out on the playoffs due to a missed field goal in their final game.
Although Jackson remains one of the best quarterbacks in the league, having been selected four times to the Pro Bowl and three times to the first-team All-Pro, he will be making his first season without head coach John Harbaugh. A fresh start is expected as Jesse Minter, formerly the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Chargers, will take over.
The Ravens are currently projected to win 11.5 games and are favored to go under that tally. A 10 or 11 win season could still secure a return to the postseason following last year's missed playoffs. With a +1000 odds to win the Super Bowl, the Ravens are second best to only the Los Angeles Rams. The season kicks off on September 13th when the Ravens face off against the Indianapolis Colts.
