Can Jackson and the Ravens get over the hump?

The Ravens ensured their future after they secured Lamar Jackson for a five-year contract this offseason. His extension not only gave him the largest contracted player in the league but also ensured that the Ravens do not have to worry about QB woes in the next few years. But with Jackson back on the squad, one question remains unanswered for the Ravens. Can Lamar Jackson finally get the Ravens over the championship hump?

Over the last few years, Jackson’s injury-prone career has derailed the team from being able to match up to their final potential. But as Jackson enters the 2023-24 NFL Season with a healthy body and renewed incentive to win, this season will prove to be a decisive one for the Ravens. They made some other major moves in the offseason, the biggest of which was their acquisition of Odell Beckham Jr. to bolster their targets for Jackson. With a fresh squad and a stable team situation, the Ravens will finally look to achieve their true potential with Lamar Jackson and secure a championship for the team after over a decade.
