At the end of another stellar season, Ravens' Lamar Jackson will still face doubters in the playoffs As far as Lamar Jackson is concerned, most of his postseason disappointments are well in the past.
The Ravens return to the postseason with a lot of the same strengths they had a year ago when they hosted Kansas City, but this time Baltimore will need two wins just to reach the AFC title game.
There's one obvious exception — last year's AFC championship game, when the top-seeded Ravens were at home against Kansas City but still couldn't overcome the Chiefs.
The last few weeks of the regular season gave Baltimore plenty of reasons to feel optimistic as Jackson led the team to four straight victories and an AFC North title.
He may have done enough to win a third MVP award, becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to pass for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 900 in one season.
