The Ravens beginning the year 0-2 with MVP Lamar Jackson is among the surprises of the season up until now. While they needed to open on the roadway versus the Kansas City Chiefs, they let a win versus the Las Vegas Raiders escape from them in Week 2. They permitted 13 unanswered points in the 4th quarter, falling on a last-minute basket.
The Ravens have the Dallas Cowboys up next, and unexpectedly they are taking a look at the worst run of Jackson’s NFL profession. He has actually never ever lost 3 routine season video games in a row, however that’s what can occur today. The Cowboys are 1-1, beating the Browns however losing to the Saints. Dallas is hosting once again after letting New Orleans installed 44 points inside AT&T Stadium.
Lamar Jackson is 58-21 in his profession as a starter, 0-2 in 2024 after ending up last season 13-3. He has among the very best records in NFL history though he still has another 21 starts to reach 100. Even with the reasonably short resume, it is still excellent to have actually prevented a three-game losing streak already.
Even the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger, who has among the much better historic records, struck a three-game losing streak in his 3rd season though he likewise struck the back end of a truck that offseason. He had 2 such streaks that year, and another in 2009, his seventh season. Jackson remains in his seventh season now.

In those 2 video games, Jackson is 47-of-75 for 520 lawns with 2 goals to one interception. He has 167 hurrying backyards too on 21 brings though he does have one fumble.
“Let’s get 1-0”, Jackson stated through ESPN about his Ravens group today. “We’re beginning the season off sluggish, however I think guys in the locker space. We understand what we wish to do when we head out there Sunday. It’s like we losing, however I seem like at the end of the day we beating ourselves”.
This is plainly better than an 0-2 group, however the Ravens do have some issues. They are reconstructing their offending line on the fly, plugging in 3 brand-new beginners from last season. He has 2 goals, RB Derrick Henry is still discovering his footing in this offense. Lamar Jackson himself is the main source of stability on offense– as a quarterback must be, naturally.
Defensively, as much as they might not wish to confess, the Ravens are adapting to life without Patrick Queen. Approved, Queen isn’t precisely lighting things up until now with the Steelers, either. They are getting contributions, with Odafe Oweh stepping up in the early going.
Lamar Jackson was a freshman at Louisville the only time the Ravens ever began 0-3.
