Before the season began, many considered the Baltimore Ravens serious contenders. However, after two games, John Harbaugh‘s team surprisingly finds itself with a 0-2 record. In response to this situation, the coach made it clear to both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> and the rest of his teammates.



One of the top quarterbacks is part of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a>‘ roster. Lamar Jackson, a standout talent, is the undisputed starter for the team. Despite being involved in both losses so far, the coach remains confident in his abilities.



“The most consistent player we have, the consistently executing and consistently playing is Lamar on offense,” Harbaugh said via the team. “Lamar’s playing very well. He’s making good decisions, he’s taking charge of the offense, he’s making throws, he’s moving around when he has to. He’s running the ball sometimes when it’s a run-pass option, he’s throwing the ball when he should. I feel really good about the direction that way.”



Recent statistics from the game against the Las Vegas Raiders show that Jackson threw for 247 yards, with one touchdown, one interception, and added 45 rushing yards.

<h2>Harbaugh and his confidence in the team</h2>



Although the results have certainly not been as expected, Coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">Harbaugh</a> remains fully confident in his team and believes there are strong chances to turn the situation around. This confidence extends not only to their performance on the field but also to achieving positive results.

“We’re not going to be defined by everyone that’s saying we’re not any good, or that the season is over after two games,” Harbaugh said.



“That’s what’s going to be said, and we understand that, but they’re not here; they’re not inside. No one inside is going to say that. We have to take care of our stuff, take care of our business [and] take care of our work. We know that we’re a good football team, and we’re going to go keep getting better and define the season by the way we play.”

<h2>Lamar Jackson’s sensations on Ravens loss </h2>



Lamar Jackson acknowledges that the results haven’t met expectations at the start of the season. Perhaps the level of play could have been a bit more consistent. Nevertheless, he’s confident in turning the situation around alongside his teammates.



After the game against the Raiders, Jackson told the press: “We are going to see,” Jackson said. “I’m definitely going to talk to my guys, though, because we’ve got to find our mojo. We’ve got to find it, and do what we do, because that’s not us at all.”

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> are grappling with a serious internal crisis after losing the first two games of the 2024 NFL season. The most recent defeat came at home against the Las Vegas Raiders. Following the game, head coach John Harbaugh made it clear what the future holds for the franchise this season.



In a recent press conference, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a> addressed the state of the Ravens, stating that the team’s fate would be decided over the next 15 games. While admitting the loss to the Raiders was tough, he emphasized the need to look at the full season. “We play 17 games,” he said. “The next 15 will define us.”



“Disappointing loss, tough loss, could have gone our way for sure but we didn’t get the job done, 0 and 2, we are going to play a 17-game season. And we will be defined by the next 15 games. That’s going to be our objective: to play the best 15 games we can, be the best football team we can be. If we do that, then we’re going to have a really good season and have a shot to win a lot of games, get into the playoffs, and make a run.”



Harbaugh opened the press conference with a tone of determination, focusing solely on the games ahead. “We have to do big picture, short term,” he said. “We’ve got to go back and look at every little thing and continue to clean up the things we know we can clean up to get better.”

<h2>The Ravens’ Tough Start to the Season</h2>



It’s worth noting that the Ravens’ first loss came in Week 1 against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. The game, played on the road, ended with a 27-20 victory for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The second loss followed in Week 2, when the Raiders capitalized on the Ravens’ mistakes to secure a 26-23 win.



<h2>Upcoming Games for the Ravens</h2>



John Harbaugh and the Ravens could catch a break in Week 3, when they face the Dallas Cowboys at AT&amp;T Stadium. The Cowboys recently suffered a tough 44-19 loss at home to the New Orleans Saints and will be desperate for a win.



However, things might get tougher in Week 4, when the Ravens host the Buffalo Bills. With the Bills starting the season with two consecutive wins, they could come into the game riding a strong winning streak, making it one of the Ravens’ most challenging matchups of the early season.

The Baltimore Ravens fell narrowly to the Kansas City Chiefs in their 2024 NFL debut. Had Isaiah Likely wore one cleats size smaller, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> may have won the game in the last second. The Ravens did not look far from their game from last season. However, lack of touches from new runningback Derrick Henry concerned many fans. John Harbaugh addressed this decision and made something clear to Jackson and the Ravens about how the offense will operate.



Lamar rushed for 122 yards during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a> week 1 game at Arrowhead. Henry, on the other hand, only rushed for 46 yards with just three less carries than the QB. That is a concerning look on a team that must focus on keeping their franchise quarterback healthy and who recently went all in for free agent Henry. Harbaugh, however, explained this statline was not a fluke and that indeed this is how he shall scheme his offense. 



“We rushed for 185 yards overall, and a lot of that is Lamar, but that’s the formula. The formula is all the guys together — it’s not just the one guy. We didn’t bring <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/derrick-henry">Derrick</a> [Henry] to be the guy that gets the ball 30 times a game. He’s done that before. That’s really not the plan. The plan is Derrick, Lamar, Mark, Isaiah, Zay, Bate, Nelly. That’s the plan in this offense going forward,” Harbaugh said, via Ravens Vault.



<h2>Lamar may want a word on that gameplan</h2>



Jackson’s 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season first game has shown mixed feelings. It felt strange to the naked eye at first sight, and the funny feeling does not fade away as the days go by. Lamar did not look like his MVP version from last year, he missed a couple of throws any QB in the league is expected to hit blindfolded, let alone the reigning most valuable player.

His rushing game excelled, however, that is the one side of his style that has never raised any eyebrows. The fact <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">Harbaugh</a> seems content with exploiting his quarterback on basically every single playcall, it is curious to say the least. Jackson was asked if he thought high-volume rushing attempts was sustainable.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/jaguars-qb-trevor-lawrence-stays-optimistic-about-travis-etienne-following-loss-to-the-dolphins"></div>


“I don’t know, but I’m not trying to find out. We got Derrick Henry, Justice Hill, those guys. But, I’m going to do whatever it takes to win, and in that type of game, sometimes you got to do what you got to do.”



Harbaugh may have guided Jackson towards that attitude as he previously stated.



“I’m comfortable with a physical football team across the board, whatever it takes in a given situation to try to find a way to make a play and win the game.“



<h2>What’s next for the Ravens?</h2>



Baltimore will look to bounce back after their week 1 loss when they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday’s noon. The Raiders are coming off a loss in which they allowed 176 rushing yards to (John’s brother) Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers, whose run game has already made a good first impression in his return to the NFL.
