Ravens Eye Super Bowl Glory with Lamar Jackson Leading the Charge
The Baltimore Ravens are poised for a deep playoff run in the 2025 NFL season, with reigning MVP Lamar Jackson at the helm. Jackson, who led the team to a 12-5 record and the AFC North title, has thrown for 41 touchdowns and just four interceptions this season, solidifying his status as one of the league’s most dynamic players.
Jackson’s health remains a critical factor for the Ravens, especially after last year’s AFC Championship Game loss. The team’s playoff hopes hinge on his ability to stay on the field, as his absence two years ago resulted in an early postseason exit. Backup quarterback Josh Johnson, a 38-year-old veteran with extensive experience across multiple leagues, provides a safety net should Jackson face any setbacks.
Johnson, who has played for 14 different NFL franchises, stepped in during the 2023 NFC Championship Game for the San Francisco 49ers after Brock Purdy‘s injury. Despite limited playoff experience, Johnson’s reliability in high-pressure situations makes him a valuable asset for the Ravens. The team also has rookie Devin Leary on the practice squad, adding depth to their quarterback roster.
The Ravens’ dominant 2024 season has set high expectations for their playoff campaign. With Jackson’s MVP-caliber performance and a seasoned backup in Johnson, Baltimore aims to secure its third Super Bowl title in franchise history.
