Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have emerged from a COVID-19 outbreak to average 40 points and nearly 400 yards during a three-game winning streak that has put them in position to charge into the postseason with confidence.
Problem is, the Ravens still need some things to fall their way to qualify for the playoffs.
Baltimore (9-5) can beat the visiting New York Giants on Sunday and Cincinnati in the season finale and still fall short of an AFC wild card. Outside help is needed, but Jackson — the Ravens’ gifted quarterback — won’t be checking out the scoreboard while dealing with the fading Giants (5-9).
