Roethlisberger picks Ravens OTL

Ben Roethlisberger picks Ravens to win, Ravens Flock celebrates an important birthday, Zay Flowers misses practice, & more in today’s OTL!

First up, we had an important birthday on Tuesday, that of star QB and MVP hopeful Lamar Jackson.

Needless to say, it was a fun day online for Ravens fans, but the team continues to stay dialed in for a date with the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round. Most importantly, nobody’s more focused than Jackson:

For the now 28-year-old QB, thinking about past playoff trips is largely unimportant. With the exception of last year’s AFC Championship defeat, it’s all about moving forward:

I’m glad Jackson acknowledged last year’s loss to KC, though – it should motivate him and help fuel the team for a deeper run this time around. With a tough stretch likely, including trips to Buffalo and Kansas City, it’ll be critical to stay composed:

If the Ravens can stay within themselves and take care of the ball, they’re primed for a deep playoff run this year (and potentially more).

The first key is obviously the birthday boy, Lamar Jackson. Playing at the top of his game, Jackson has the chance to silence all haters and essentially solidify his legacy forever by delivering a Super Bowl. And for many, including one of the team’s all-time rivals, there’s nobody better at the position:

In fact, Ben Roethlisberger picks the Ravens to beat the Steelers! I don’t know about you, but the “That’s Bait” GIF comes to mind for me.

I noted earlier that Jackson acknowledged his past mistakes and how quickly he found himself in playoff situations before. This year, I look forward to seeing an experienced, composed, and complete QB leading the team.

Alongside Jackson, of course, is Derrick Henry, who many feel gives Baltimore the “closer” that they didn’t have in years past. Either way, Henry highlighted how Jackson’s presence helps even him excel:

We know first-hand how difficult it is to stop King Henry in January, and I can’t wait to see the kind of impact he has, assuming the coaching staff remembers why he was brought to Charm City.

On the opposite side of the ball, it’s about maintaining momentum into the playoffs. DC Zach Orr’s work to turnaround the unit has been nothing short of incredible, and while they do pass the eye test, it’s hard not to worry about a reversion or decline in the big moments.

The key, however, has been reshaping the Safety room, which Baltimore continued to do on Tuesday:

It’s been tough to see Williams struggle so much this year, but again, Orr and company made the right call. Ar’Darius Washington has flourished, and Kyle Hamilton continues to show that he’s worth the big bucks:

Come playoff time, I expect them to continue making plays.

Lastly, it’s all about staying healthy. Baltimore seems to have evaded a scare with WR Zay Flowers, but he missed practice on Tuesday:

KVN seems to think he’ll suit up, but I have my doubts. Regardless, if each piece of the puzzle clicks, the Ravens can absolutely win the Super Bowl. If my two cents are worth anything, I do think they will.
