The Baltimore Ravens had two different halves to their 2021 season. They started the year at 8-3 and held the top seed in the AFC, but then limped to an 8-9 finish and fell out of the playoff race completely.
Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson was asked about what changed for the offensive unit in the second half of the year, and the fourth-year signal caller talked about a few of his performances and also credited how his team fought throughout the year.
“To be honest with you, I really don’t know. Like you said, [the] Miami game, after the Miami game … I got sick at the Miami game, actually, and I played horrible [in] the Cleveland game. I really don’t know, man. I really don’t know. We still had the same guys; we’ve just got to be consistent. That’s going back to being consistent, and like you said, in the pass game … We’ve just got to be consistent everywhere with our offense – just keep playing how we’ve been playing and don’t bat an eye. That’s just what it was. But my guys kept fighting throughout the losses, the consecutive losses – that’s what it was – my guys kept fighting and doing what they were doing. But we just fell short a little. We’ve just got to be more consistent. I really don’t know what happened.”
