Key Contributors Toward Ravens Playoff Chances

QB Lamar Jackson just added his second league MVP trophy to his young career. The dual-threat QB will always be the engine of the Ravens offense. To add to the steady run game, veteran RB Derrick Henry is now the focal point in the Ravens backfield. Henry is currently +4000 to win the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award after posting several strong showings early in the season. Not to be outdone, RB Justice Hill has a prominent role behind Henry on the ground and through the air as a solid change-of-pace back. 

Speaking of rumors, there has been consistent coach speak that the team is expecting WR Rashod Bateman to take a massive step forward and be a key piece of the passing game. It feels like it's now or never for Bateman and his contribution would be huge to go along with Zay Flowers entering his second season as a pro. A healthy Mark Andrews is a difference-maker for this offense, but Isaiah Likely is one of the best "backup" tight ends in the league.

Defensively, the hope is the loss of coordinator Mike MacDonald won't cause last year's league-leading unit to slip too far. Baltimore also lost key players through free agency and will turn to young players at important positions, such as linebacker Trenton Simpson and corner Nate Wiggins who was taken in the first round in this year's draft.

Who to Root for if You’re a Ravens Fan

Outside of rooting for the Ravens, the best idea is to just root against divisional foes. So I would root for any team that plays against the Browns, Bengals, or Steelers.

Ravens Postseason Outlook and Predictions

The Ravens have made the playoffs this season with two games to go in the regular season. The big question will be if the team can make a run at the Super Bowl.
