How will the Ravens help Lamar Jackson get back to MVP form and make their offense more consistent?
In 2024, the Ravens had the NFL’s top-ranked offense and became the first team in league history with more than 4,000 yards passing and 3,000 yards rushing. Their offense was explosive, diverse, and balanced. Lamar Jackson came close to winning his third MVP award and had his best season statistically, throwing for a career-high 4,172 yards passing and 41 touchdowns with just four interceptions.
The Ravens entered Year 3 with Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken in 2025, expecting to have one of the league’s elite offenses again. They returned basically the same nucleus with the addition of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. However, the Ravens fell to No. 16 in total offense in 2025 and tumbled to 27th in passing offense.
An offseason makeover could be forthcoming on the offensive line. Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum is a pending free agent, and if he departs, that will leave another hole to address. They could also upgrade at guard.
Zay Flowers had his second-straight Pro Bowl year. Derrick Henry lost some crucial fumbles, but he also rushed for 1,595 yards, the second-highest of his illustrious career. With Jackson, Henry, Flowers, and Mark Andrews, the Ravens have a strong offensive core returning.
But getting Jackson playing back consistently at an MVP level is paramount. Jackson can still be spectacular, as he showed in the fourth quarter of the Week 18 loss in Pittsburgh. Health is a major factor after Jackson was banged up for much of the year. The Ravens have unique weapons but need more offensive consistency, particularly in the passing game, to insure themselves a playoff spot in 2026.
