There are two instances when a team considers every game as the highest priority. Either, when on a losing streak and need to turn around, or when going smoothly and need to continue to go all the way. The latter is the case for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens. After two earlier hiccups against the Colts and the Steelers, they have turned around well. The Ravens currently have the joint second-best output in the league with 7-2. But what is the success story behind the mighty Purple Pain?
The team’s most valuable asset, quarterback Lamar Jackson, disclosed the secret behind their win streak. However, probably a little too early, as the real challenge only lies ahead of him.

At the press conference following Tuesday’s practice session, the QB joined all smiles and happy. And reasonably so as the playoff spot is pretty much sealed unless a serious turnaround happens late in the season. He was a little too delighted with the very first question when he was asked upon his pass completion rate upgrading to 70% from 60%, which was already great. To which he jokingly replied, “What if I don’t have an answer?”
Later, the topic evolved to something more serious, and Jackson being the new spokesperson of the team, had to present an overview of the team’s current performance. To which, he was more than happy. When asked about their 4-match-winning consistency, Lamar spilled the beans on what was exactly pushing them to achieve the milestones they set.

The next two division rivals will not only set the tone for the divisional championship, but it will pave the way for the AFC Conference for either of these teams. And possibly even the Super Bowl, in the future. The Ravens fans will be hoping that Lamar Jackson remains this smiley coming back after 2 weeks.
