Baltimore Ravens teammates warned the NFL that Lamar Jackson will return sharper this season. Zay Flowers told Sky Sports that under the new coaching regime, the former MVP will get a fresh start, be healthier, and play his best. The move follows an 8‑9 finish that dropped the Ravens out of the playoffs for the first time since 2021.

Jackson finished last year completing 192 of 302 throws (63.6%) for 2,549 yards, 21 touchdowns and seven interceptions, while his rushing total slipped to a career‑low 349 yards. Flowers, the team's leading receiver, had 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five scores. Head coach Jesse Minter now steers the squad, replacing John Harbaugh.

After an 8‑9 campaign that saw the Ravens lose the AFC North to the Steelers in week 18, the franchise has long chased a Super Bowl berth. Jackson’s resurgence could ignite that push, while Minter’s fresh energy promises a different team dynamic. Fans now expect a more competitive Ravens squad.

With Minter’s system and Flowers’ confidence, the team is poised to test its depth against the AFC’s top contenders. If Jackson stays injury‑free, the Ravens could finally re‑establish themselves as a playoff threat, potentially setting a new trajectory for the franchise and restoring Baltimore’s national relevance.
