One by one, the most respected voices on the 2022 Ravens stepped up to issue their closing statements on a rocky season that ended Sunday night with their 24-17 playoff defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.
One by one, they said they would prefer to move forward with Lamar Jackson, the quarterback who missed the last six games because of a widely debated knee injury.
