As the Baltimore Ravens prepare for the 2026 NFL season, expectations vary widely among analysts and fans. Some predict a Super Bowl run, especially with quarterback Lamar Jackson returning to full health. Former Ravens receiver Qadry Ismail and ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky highlighted Jackson's potential impact, asserting that his health is crucial for the team's success. Last season, the Ravens struggled, finishing with an 8-9 record and missing the playoffs.

The Ravens aim to exceed last year's results, pushing to reclaim their position as contenders in the league.
