The locker room was a positive place after Wednesday’s practice. It’s easy to understand the mood.
It felt good to have a fresh start on the season. Lamar Jackson’s return to the practice field was also a good feeling.
The Ravens were grateful to have the chance to play the Pittsburgh Steelers for the AFC North championship on Sunday night. The Ravens are thrilled to be in charge of their destiny after a 1-5 start and the hardships they have faced this season.
Kyle Hamilton, All-Pro safety, said: “There were times when it seemed like the end was near.” “We have to be there for a good reason. We’ve worked way too hard to get ourselves into this situation. God has been on our team to give us a second chance. Few 8-8 teams are able to say that they have a shot in Week 18. “We’ve got make the most out of it.”
After a devastating loss to the New England Patriots in a playoff game, the Ravens came back in Green Bay. The Browns’ victory over the Steelers on the following day was a great gift, giving them a second chance to achieve their goals.
Marlon Humphrey, cornerback, said: “The energy, the vibes after that Green Bay match – not knowing if we would even have a shot – was encouraging to me.” “I believe the guys played with the same energy as we did in the must-win match, not knowing what the future held.” This said a great deal to me about the coaching and the team’s leadership. “And hopefully, the same energy, demeanor and will to win that you showed throughout the week, will translate into a win on Sunday.”
Tyler Linderbaum, the starting center for the team, said that the buzz around the team was undeniable. Players and coaches know they have the chance to achieve something special.
Linderbaum stated, “If this were our last game we would probably have a different story.” “It all starts this week. We have to prepare our butts.”
Linderbaum stated that Jackson’s appearance at practice added to the positive atmosphere. The Ravens are confident in Tyler Huntley as their backup quarterback, but Jackson is an exceptional talent.”
Linderbaum stated, “He is the leader of our team.” “Everything passes through No. 8. If he plays, it’ll be great to see him again.”
