The Baltimore Ravens [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/baltimore-ravens/] have all but booked a seat in the playoffs. QB Lamar Jackson [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lamar-jackson/] was taking a risk this week despite their comfortable position. Will this risk pay off in seed position for the Ravens, or will it haunt their postseason performance? Jackson has been the talisman for the Ravens once again this year. He has thrown for 2,618 yards with 13 touchdowns. His stellar performances have put the Ravens on top of the AFC North division. But for the game against the Los Angeles Rams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/los-angeles-rams-nfl/], as Jackson battles through illness, is the QB all right? LAMAR JACKSON IS A FORCE OF NATURE The #8 for the Ravens was reportedly feeling sick a day ago. Many believed Jackson might have limited presence in the game, even though the Ravens did not list #8 on the injury or questionable list. But that did not turn out to be the case. He started warming up for the game, but more was yet to come. Not only has he started the game against the Rams, but his athleticism and throwing skills look unblemished after a sublime performance against the Los Angeles Chargers [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nfl/los-angeles-chargers-nfl/] on the road, which the Ravens won 20-10. The 2X Pro Bowler is continuing to woo the fans and defenses alike.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are one of the newer teams in the NFL and play as part of the AFC North division. They joined the NFL after <a href="https://www.cleveland.com/ohio-sports-blog/2017/04/cleveland_browns_move_to_balti.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">moving</a> from Cleveland to set up an extension franchise in the NFL’s now-defunct AFC Central division, ahead of the 1996 NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389041" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211230/1200px-Baltimore_Ravens_logo.svg.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="591" />
The move saw the city of Baltimore return to the NFL after a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100211225719/http://www.baltimoreravens.com/News/History/Baltimore_Football_History.aspx#1946" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">dozen</a> years out. Their spell initially ended when the Baltimore Colts relocated to Indiana ahead of the 1984 NFL season. With a newly rebranded team, the city got behind the players wholeheartedly and stuck with them in their four seasons of struggle. 
The third season (1998 NFL season) saw Baltimore Ravens <a href="https://www.stadiumsofprofootball.com/stadiums/mt-bank-stadium/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">move</a> from the historic Memorial Stadium where the Colts played for 30 years to the new M&amp;T Bank Stadium. 
Following the relocation, the team’s fortunes turned, and their three-season losing run ended. They finished the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/1999/gamelog/">1999</a> NFL season at 8-8 and in the next campaign; they proved to the league and the country that it wasn’t just a flash in the pan. 
The Ravens placed second in the AFC North and proceeded to the playoffs with a 11-5 overall record. The franchise won the Wildcard Round Playoffs against the Tennessee Titans 20-13. However, they would fall in the Division Playoffs to the Bills.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens Achievements</h2>
The Ravens have excelled in their short time in the NFL with six divisional titles, two conference championships, and two Super Bowl wins. 
Their first Super Bowl win as Baltimore Ravens came in the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2000/gamelog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2000</a> NFL season. The Ravens cobbled a 12-4 record and finished in the six-team AFC Central behind Tennessee Titans. 
Over the course of the regular season, the team made waves over its robust defense that allowed opposing offenses to advance just 970 yards. They conceded just five rushing touchdowns, which stands as a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/play-index/tiny.fcgi?id=IyzVf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">record</a> for a 16-game NFL season. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389039" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211100/supa-biwl.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="618" />
In the Playoffs, the Ravens’ defense remained imperious, and only the Titans who played them in the divisional round could reach double digits.
 On January 28, 2001, Baltimore decimated New York Giants 34-7 at Super Bowl <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/200101280nyg.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">XXXV</a>. Linebacker Ray Lewis claimed the Super Bowl MVP award. He would go on to feature in the franchise's second Vincent Lombardi Trophy win a dozen years later. 
The win was the genesis of the team’s rise in the NFL. They did not fade away and remained a <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">consistent</a> feature in the NFL Playoffs. The Baltimore Ravens have made it past the regular season in 11 of the next 19 seasons, following the Super Bowl triumph. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are owned by Steve Bisciotti. He <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/bal-modell122099-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">purchased</a> part of the franchise ahead of the Super Bowl-winning season in 2000. Per the terms of the purchase, he had the option to buy the Ravens outright, and Biscotti exercised the option ahead of the <a href="https://www.espn.in/nfl/news/story?id=1778585" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2004</a> NFL season.  
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389038" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211048/steve.jpg" alt="" width="900" height="600" />
He took a bold call to part ways with a Super Bowl-winning coach, but his new hire was justified. John Harbaugh came on board in the same season as Joe Flacco. The duo combined to take the Ravens to a franchise-best four successive postseason appearances and one Super Bowl for the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2012/gamelog/">2012</a> NFL season. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Lamar Jackson era</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens made the most of many teams passing up on a Heisman winner and drafted him at #32 overall at the 2018 NFL draft. <a href="http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lamar-jackson/">Lamar Jackson</a> possessed supreme rushing skills, and many regarded him as a running back. However, he remained steadfast on wanting to play quarterback and the team gave him a chance.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
Jackson got his chance midway through the 2018 NFL campaign when <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201302030sfo.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Super Bowl XLVII</a> MVP Joe Flacco sustained an injury. 
In the team's second season with quarterback Lamar Jackson, the team put together the best run of the NFL regular season. Their <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2019/gamelog/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">14-2</a> record had them pegged as Super Bowl favorites. However, they lost in the first playoff round. Nevertheless, the quarterback became only the second player to earn the regular season MVP award with a unanimous vote. 
The 2020 season saw Lamar Jackson aim to guide Baltimore Ravens to a third consecutive playoff appearance. His goal was to win a post-season game and lift the Vincent Lombardi Trophy. However, the Ravens fell to the Buffalo Bills in the Division Playoffs in a dismal 3-17 loss.

Mandatory Credit: Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens Logo</h2>
The Baltimore Ravens are a relatively new franchise. Yet they have hit headlines over their logo and had to shake things up near the turn of the century. 
The issue arose as the Baltimore dweller was peeved at not getting credit for a design similar to what he had given to the franchise. 
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389037" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200924211032/Ravens3_a62a5ccf67a6a544c82cfd224cf82e26.jpg" alt="" width="1240" height="600" />
After the jury ruled against the franchise, they elected to craft a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1999/03/01/sports/plus-pro-football-baltimore-ravens-adopt-new-logo.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new logo</a>. The Baltimore Ravens dropped the helmet theme and adopted the crest they use even today. Chiefly, the insignia features a raven looking to the right with the gold-tinted letter 'B' plastered on the side of its head. 

<h2 style="text-align: center">Baltimore Ravens 2022 Sponsors</h2>
Morgan Properties announced a new partnership with Baltimore Ravens with an aim to increase visibility and grow awareness of its multifamily offerings among prospective Mid-Atlantic renters. Moreover, Postmates partnered up with the Ravens alongside the Los Angeles Rams. Postmates provided an assurance to deliver gameday meals throughout the season.
Leidos also came out with an announcement to partner up with the Ravens to spread awareness about the ongoing opioid epidemic through the 'Tackling Opioid Addiction' campaign. For every tackle made during the regular season, Leidos and the Ravens will donate $50 towards Baltimore area nonprofit organizations.

Baltimore Ravens 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report The Baltimore Ravens are one of the newer teams in the NFL and play as part of the AFC North division.

Lamar Jackson

Who is Lamar Jackson? Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. is a quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens in the National Football Conference. He was drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft (32nd overall pick) after he claimed the Heisman Trophy, during his sophomore year. In his rookie season, Lamar Jackson led the team to the playoffs. Alas! They were met with a setback against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Mandatory Credit: Evan Habeeb-USA TODAY Sports| Reuters Given his prowess on the field, he won NFL MVP in 2019â€”his second season in the league. This allowed him to become the fourth African-American quarterback to win this accolade. Additionally, Lamar Jackson became the first quarterback to boast 1,000 rushing yards in multiple seasons as he led the Ravens to their third consecutive playoff appearance, post the NFL MVP title. A random fact about the Ravens&#8217; QB is that Lamar Jackson&#8217;s favorite pregame meal is shrimp Alfredo pasta and that he has been the Madden 21 cover athlete. Lamar Jacksonâ€™s early life Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. was born on January 7, 1997, in Pompano Beach, Florida to Lamar Jackson Sr. and Felicia Jones. The family, comprising Lamar, his younger brother Jamar, and two sisters, shared a tight-knit relationship, despite belonging to a financially distressed neighborhood. Tragedy struck the Jacksons when Lamar Jackson Sr. died in a car accident when the quarterback was only eight years old. To add salt to the wound, his grandmother also passed away on the same day, making that episode one of the most traumatic ones in LJ&#8217;s life. Lamar and his siblings were brought up by a single mother, Felicia Jones. And the quarterback shares a unique bond with her mother. This highlights Felicia&#8217;s role in Lamar Jackson&#8217;s profession as an agent who helps with contract structuring.

Astonishingly, per reports, at the mere age of 8, Jackson was able to throw a football up to 20 yards. After public school, Lamar Jackson joined his Florida high school team which helped him change the trajectory of his career. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s personal life Jackson is relatively private about his personal affairs. However, he has been in a relationship with Louisville&#8217;s sweetheart, Jaime Taylor, for almost six years. Not many details are revealed about Jaime Taylor, except that the two went to the same high school. However, they reportedly met at the University of Louisville and have been together ever since.

In 2018, Jackson held autograph signings in Louisville, which received charitable donations of $29,000. Out of this, $25,000 was given to Blessings in Backpacks and the remaining went to Mission for Hope. The quarterback helps empower the less privileged youth to excel in education and athletics through mentorship and means at his The Lamar Jackson Foundation.Â Other than that, Lamar Jackson was captured donating turkeys during the Thanksgiving holidays and supporting the COVID-19 relief efforts. His primary source of income is his football career. However, endorsement deals and investments have also helped boost the net worth of Lamar Jackson.  Lamar Jackson&#8217;s career timeline Lamar Jackson went to Boynton Beach High School in Florida. During his two years of quarterbacking them, Lamar played a total of 16 games, throwing for 2263 yards and 31 touchdowns, and running for 1624 yards and 22 touchdowns.

And this stellar read-option and dual-threat display caught the attention of multiple college programs from all over the country. Action Jackson chose Louisville over some competing Power Five programs like Florida and Auburn. Lamar Jackson joined Louisville as a communication major and quickly made his mark on the gridiron. The passer led the Cardinals to an 8-5 season in his 2015 freshman year.Â Lamar passed for 1840 yards scoring 12 touchdowns. Also, he ran for an additional 11 rushing TDs over 960 yards. Lamar earned the 2015 Music City Bowl MVP award and set the passing yardage and touchdown record for the Bowl game. Jackson&#8217;s sophomore year was the stuff of dreams. His 3543 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, 1571 rushing yards, and 21 rushing touchdowns for a 9-4 Cardinals season were enough to earn him the 2016 Heisman Trophy over finalists and future NFL stars like Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield. Jackson became the first-ever Heisman Winner from Louisville and the youngest winner in the award&#8217;s history, winning it at 19.

(Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images) His excellence on the field continued in college, which eventually, helped him secure a place in the first round in the 2018 NFL Draft with the Ravens. Lamar didn&#8217;t take too long to adjust to the big league. After subbing in for injured starter Joe Flacco during a 47-3 win against the Bills, Lamar never had to look back. Winning six of the seven games he started, a 21-year-old Lamar became the youngest NFL quarterback to play in the postseason. Although the season ended with a 23-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Lamar came back stronger in year 2. In 2019, Lamar Jackson became the second unanimous NFL MVP afterÂ Tom BradyÂ in 2010. And he did this by playing some mind-boggling football. Setting career-highs in single-game passing yards (324) and touchdowns (5) in the season-opener against Miami, Action Jackson looked like a force to be feared right from the start. Jackson continued his form in the 2020-21 season, becoming the first quarterback to have multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons. Despite injuries factoring in during the following two seasons, Jackson made his second Pro Bowl in 2021. In 2022, Jackson once again showed glimpses of the 2019 season when he bagged the AFC Offensive Player of the Month in September. However, a sprained PCL brought the season to an end for Jackson. The Ravens, despite going 10-7 lost to AFC North rivalsÂ Cincinnati BengalsÂ in the first round of the playoffs. Lamar Jackson has taken the Ravens to the playoffs five times since joining them. However, the dynamic quarterback often fails to carry the stellar regular season form into the postseason. LJ has a postseason record of 2-4, although technically, he did not play in the 2022 playoffs. His recent loss came against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship round with a score of 17-10.Â  Lamar Jackson&#8217;s contracts In 2023, Lamar Jackson signed a $260 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, making him the highest-paid NFL player after surpassing Jalen Hurts of the Eagles. This contract allowed him to earn $52 million with $185 million guaranteed. Astonishingly, the million-dollar contract was almost twenty-three folds higher than the contract he signed when he was first drafted. In 2018, as Lamar Jackson signed a 4-year deal with the Ravens it was worth $9.5 million. It included a $4,968,471 signing bonus and $7,575,059 guaranteed. This contract worth millions was a total shocker in the NFL realm as it was only the first time in league history that a football player accumulated the amount without an agent. Jackson had his mom with him at the negotiation table. Another interesting aspect of Lamar Jackson&#8217;s contract is that, before the 2022 NFL season, he was offered a deal worth $230 million with over $100 million guaranteed. However, the quarterback took a step back from the deal as he believed his worth to be much more than that, especially after Deshaun Watson got that number in guaranteed money from the Cleveland Browns. And he did prove to be right as right after signing the extension in the 2023 NFL offseason, the Ravens&#8217; QB went on to have one of his best seasons since 2019. Not only did Lamar Jackson have his career-high 3,678 passing yards but his completion percentage was also 67.2. Lamar Jacksonâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Being without an agent has its drawbacks and Lamar Jackson&#8217;s endorsement deals are proof for the same. While arguably the best-ever running QB of the NFL should be at the forefront of many deals, there are far fewer contracts held by him. Some of his current contracts include: Play Action Soulfood and More Oakley Inc. NFL Pro Era Oakley is a company that deals with football apparel like football helmets and sunglasses. Meanwhile, Play Action is a soul food restaurant chain and NFL Pro Era projects a VR simulation series with Jackson in its first NFL and NFLPA licensed series.Â  Apart from these, Lamar Jackson has also featured in numerous commercials. One of the most iconic appearances of Lamar Jackson has been in a Pizza Hut commercial, Nike, Hulu, Bose, and Oakley. His investments, mostly include start-ups. One of the known ventures of the football quarterback is in real estate. He has also bought a few properties in Baltimore including a $1.5 million mansion. Furthermore, his business savvy has witnessed him starting his own clothing line named Era 8 Apparel. This line of clothing targets men, women, and young people. Not only does it promote the style of an athlete but also partners with other clothing and non-clothing brands and companies to promote youth development. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s career stats and records Lamar Jackson has an impressive number of 15,887 passing yards to show on his resume. In 2,112 attempts, he has 1,362 passing completions, leading to a completion rate of 64.5%.
