The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the league’s most consistent teams during Lamar Jackson’s tenure as their starting quarterback. They’ve been a fixture in the postseason and a perennial Super Bowl contender.
However, despite that continued success, the team has struggled to get over the hump and has yet to reach the Super Bowl during the Jackson era. Ravens’ owner Steve Biscotti spoke on where he expects the team to be in 2025 at the NFL owners meetings.
Ravens Owner Expects Big Things From Baltimore
“I want to win now,” Bisciotti said. “I want to win with these guys.”
“We’ve got a window with Lamar,” Bisciotti added. “I know what we can do. I know that we worked to put ourselves in position to win. We all get credit for that. That’s all you can do.”
The Ravens are 70-24 with Jackson under center and have been a force to be reckoned with. Jackson has won two MVP awards and narrowly missed a third in 2024. The three-time All-Pro completed 66.7% of his passes for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns and four interceptions in 2024. Jackson ranked first in PFSN’s QB+ metric, with a score of 99.8 (A+), while leading the Ravens to a 12-5 record and an AFC North title.
However, as gifted as he is as a passer, it’s what Jackson does on the ground that makes him unique. Jackson is arguably the greatest rushing quarterback in NFL history, as his 6,173 career rushing yards are the most ever by a QB. In 2024, he carried the ball 139 times for 915 yards and four touchdowns, while leading the league with 6.6 yards per carry.
Baltimore has made the postseason in six of Jackson’s first seven seasons, winning four AFC North titles. Jackson suffered an ankle injury that limited him to only 12 games in the one year they missed the playoffs.
Unfortunately for Baltimore, all that regular-season success hasn’t translated to the postseason. Jackson is 3-5 in the playoffs, and the Ravens have made it to the AFC Championship just once — a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023.
With a talented roster, the Ravens have the pieces to make a real run at the Lombardi Trophy. Baltimore had six players named All-Pro in 2024, all of whom are returning in 2025.
“I don’t look at Lamar singularly,” Bisciotti said. “I want it for Ronnie Stanley, I want it for Marlon Humphrey. It just doesn’t stop with Lamar. I want it for [general manager] Eric DeCosta.”
The team hasn’t been to the Super Bowl since 2012, when Joe Flacco led them to a win over the San Francisco 49ers.
“I don’t like waiting 12 years, yet I’m respectful of the fact that I’ve got partners [owners] downstairs that still don’t have one,” Bisciotti added. “Impatience is good for you. I think it’s healthy to a degree because you know all of us still feel it.”
With a motivated, talented roster in place, Baltimore figures to be on the short list of Super Bowl contenders. Only time will tell if 2025 is the season Jackson and the Ravens finally get over the hump.
