OTL: Happy New Year, Flock!

Lamar Jackson sits with a towel on his head

And just like that it’s 2025, Happy New Year to the entire Russell Street Report family! As we kickstart the new year and look back on a year that was largely fantastic for one Lamar Jackson, the goal posts have continued to move:

Since when have calendar year TDs mattered? Also, as a side note, remember when Buffalo and Baltimore could jive together, even in far more important circumstances?

Regardless, Jackson was surprised how quickly 2024 came to a close, and might have offered a sly insight into how he sees the rest of the 2024 season panning out:

While Pro Bowl voting is closing up, I don’t think that’s what Jackson would’ve been eluding to. If it does matter to you, though, final fan voting saw Jackson 5th among QBs:

Although I really couldn’t care less, a 5th place finish for Jackson does surprise me. Maybe it’s Bills fans ensuring their QB wins every possible argument for MVP. All that aside, Jackson can proudly say he’s the all-time best rushing QB, taking the lead in yards over Michael Vick on Christmas Day.

Even still, there’s been very little media attention paid to the achievement, as Snapback Sports’ Jack Settleman notes here:

Instead, and rightly so, much of the conversation is centered on Jackson’s passing statistics, with passer rating being the key metric. As we close out the 2024 regular season, he has a chance to snatch that record, too:

It’s hard not to recognize this kind of greatness when you see it.

Luckily, Jackson’s performances and accomplishments haven’t gone unnoticed altogether. Enter the Baltimore media, who voted Jackson the Ravens MVP:

We all know that’s the award Jackson truly wants!

As has been discussed ad nauseum over the last 10 days or so, the Ravens just need to beat Cleveland to close out their AFC North title and start their journey to a Super Bowl bid. As RSRs Dev Panchwagh highlights, the balance of Baltimore’s attack and the continued development of the team’s QB make them a fierce contender.

But for me, the key to winning Super Bowl 59 is the defense. If Baltimore gets it done, I feel it will have been because of the perfectly timed switch to Kyle Hamilton and Ar’Darius Washington on the back end:

Washington, in particular, isn’t even an unsung hero anymore – he’s budding into a star before our eyes. After two huge plays in each of the last few games, Washington explained how big the communication between him and Hamilton has been:

At the end of the day, if the defense continues to play the way it has since the BYE Week, good luck stopping the Ravens.

And with that, Happy New Year again!
