A Baltimore Ravens fan has uncovered an interesting theory suggesting that Lamar Jackson and company are poised to reach Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.
The Baltimore Ravens have been one of football’s best teams in the regular season since Jackson’s 2018 rookie season. However, that hasn’t translated to postseason success, as Baltimore has only two playoff wins in the Jackson era.
But is this the year that John Harbaugh’s group finally gets it done? The Ravens have won five in a row following an 0-2 start, led by the league’s No. 1 scoring offense that’s averaging 31.1 points per game.
X/Twitter user @TheFlockOpinion also put together a fascinating theory suggesting that the Baltimore Ravens are bound to reach Super Bowl 59.
As the user pointed out, “Lamar” is the first name of the Ravens’ signal-caller. Running back Derrick Henry? His middle name is “Lamar.” And who’s headlining the Super Bowl 59 halftime show? None other than Kendrick Lamar.
Henry has been everything the Ravens wanted, rushing for a league-leading 873 yards and eight touchdowns over the first seven weeks. The two-time rushing champion has added another explosive element to the Baltimore offense, and one can argue that they’re the Kansas City Chiefs’ biggest threat in the AFC.
The Ravens haven’t reached the Super Bowl since the 2012 season, when the Ray Lewis-led squad defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the big game. Last season marked the Ravens’ first AFC Championship Game appearance in 11 years, but their dreams were squashed by a 17-10 loss at home to Kansas City.
Baltimore Ravens Look Every Bit Like A Contender
The Ravens have all the pieces in place to finally win the Super Bowl with Jackson behind center. They have the league’s top rushing offense, a nice set of pass-catchers led by Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews and a dangerous secondary led by stars Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Williams.
