  "account": "Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, entering his decisive ninth year, understands the urgency to succeed. Speaking with CBS Sports' Evan Washburn, Jackson admitted the ticking clock of life, noting he's not getting any younger. Amid a roster of new faces, he emphasizes the perpetual need for more Super Bowl rings. Jackson will need assistance from his receivers to overcome his playoff struggles. To forge connections, he embraced his playful side on a roller coaster at the Mall of America, capturing a video of himself, teammates Zay Flowers and Ja Kobi Lane, screaming and laughing as the coaster plummeted. The Ravens are in Minnesota for joint practice with the Minnesota Vikings, preparing for their preseason game at U.S. Bank Stadium on Saturday. Jackson, a two-time NFL MVP and three-time All-Pro, is returning from an injury-plagued season that saw him play just 13 games. The Ravens finished 8-9, missing the playoffs and resulting in the dismissal of longtime head coach John Harbaugh. Jesse Minter, former Los Angeles Chargers defensive coordinator, took over as the first-year head coach, facing the pressure to secure a victory and clinch a Super Bowl appearance against the Indianapolis Colts on September 13.",
