Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson’s 2024 season hasn’t gone as planned so far.
Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens are now in unfamiliar territory, and not in a good way.
After a 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, Baltimore is now 0-2 for the first time since 2015, and by extension, the first time in the Jackson era as well.
It hurts even more because this game was one the Ravens should’ve won easily, as they have the better roster on paper and had a 10-point lead early in the fourth quarter. Once again, though, self-inflicted mistakes absolutely destroyed the Ravens down the stretch.
With the loss, Jackson joined a rather unfortunate group of great players. According to CBS Sports, Jackson is now just the fourth reigning MVP of the Super Bowl era to start 0-2. The others are Kurt Warner with the 2002 St. Louis Rams, Joe Theisman with 1984 Washington and Brian Sipe with the 1981 Cleveland Browns.
Jackson and the Ravens know what they have to do to win, it’s just a matter of executing and avoiding the easy mistakes that have plagued them so often.
“Ravens must put points on the board and just finish people – just to take the lead, just to keep scoring [and] find a way to keep scoring, to avoid the unfortunate state.
