After losing the first two games of the 2024 NFL regular season, the Baltimore Ravens seemed to be a team that may have taken two steps back rather than a giant leap forward, which the storied franchise was hoping for, considering how talented the team is this year.
One of the main reasons for the team’s success over the past few years has been the play of superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson, who has been virtually unstoppable on the field when locked in and playing up to his potential.
Last year, Jackson won his second NFL MVP award while driving opposing defenses crazy trying to contain the versatile quarterback, but the Ravens fell short in the AFC Championship Game against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, with the superstar noticeably struggling.
This season, Jackson appears to be back to form as arguably the best quarterback in the league, coming off an incredible performance against the Buccaneers, where he threw for five touchdowns.
Colin Cowherd of FOX Sports has been blown away by what Jackson can do on the field and gave him high praise for what he’s been able to do this season via The Herd of Colin Cowherd.
“Probably the world’s best football talent,” Cowherd said.

With five straight wins against potential playoff teams, the Ravens are battle-tested, with a superstar quarterback playing the best football of his career while sharing the field with fellow superstar Derrick Henry.
The Ravens seem to have all the pieces to the championship puzzle right now, but it remains to be seen whether they can put it all together when it matters the most in the postseason.
