The Baltimore Ravens are always on the precipice of greatness. Despite having an MVP-caliber quarterback, a dynamic defense, and a stellar running back, the team has yet to crack the code of the Kansas City Chiefs.

To be fair, no other AFC team has cracked the Chiefs' code either. That said, this hasn't stopped the Ravens from being a contender every season.
It's hard not to imagine that the Ravens will make the big game, and the 2025 season could be their time. In fact, Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh has made a strong warning to the NFL regarding the roster he currently has.

When Harbaugh was asked about the state of the 53-man roster to reporters following practice, he explained how good they are.
"Well, I just really like the roster. To your point, what goes through my mind when I'm watching practice is, 'This is a really good football team.' And every season is its own season. Every week – every game – is its own game. You take them all one at a time, truly. So, your focus gets very narrow. But when I take a step back, and I watch practice, I know that we're a very good football team. So, it's our job to go out there and play very well and coach very well. And that's what we plan to do."
Despite Harbaugh offering coach speak on his roster, the Ravens are a very good football team. They have proven that in multiple seasons, and will presumably do the same in 2025.
Nobody can count the Ravens out with Lamar Jackson under center. The dynamic dual-threat can sling the ball downfield and rifle off chunk yardage on the ground.
Jackson ended the 2024 season with 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also secured 915 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
Despite not winning his third MVP, there are many who believe he should hav,e considering how important and dynamic he is with the Ravens.
Baltimore also has Derrick Henry, Kyle Hamilton, Zay Flowers, Roquan Smith, and so many more high-level players on both sides of the ball. There is no shortage of skill, but it will be up to the Ravens to find their way to the Super Bowl.
If Jackson can continue his elite play, this Harbaugh-led team will be difficult to deal with yet again.
