The AFC North has four teams who all have legitimate reasons to believe they can make the playoffs.
Few teams spent their offseason in the spotlight more than the Ravens. Baltimore finally extended quarterback Lamar Jackson, giving him a record contract of $51 million per year, along with providing him more weapons in receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and first-round rookie Zay Flowers.
Furthermore, the Ravens’ offense will look wildly different with Todd Monken replacing offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Baltimore will be throwing significantly more, putting pressure on Jackson in new ways. Considering the losses on the defensive side, including edge rusher Justin Houston, safety Chuck Clark and corner Marcus Peters, Jackson may need to set personal bests in pass yardage to help the Ravens keep up.
