Even though it’s still too early into the season, there are a couple of records already achieved. One of the more notorious records out there is how teams that feature Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and other top quarterbacks have combined for a horrendous record.
The Ravens are facing a challenging start to the 2024 season, beginning with an 0-2 record after their narrow loss to the Raiders. This marks a troubling trend for the team, as they aim to turn things around in the upcoming games. Historically, starting a season with two losses has not bode well for the Ravens; they have previously encountered this situation four times, resulting in missed playoff opportunities each time.
Jackson, who was the NFL MVP, is now among a select group of MVPs who have lost their first two games. The team’s performance in the second half has been particularly alarming, as they have struggled to maintain leads, raising concerns about their ability to close out games.
Looking ahead, the Ravens’ schedule does not ease up, with matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. Analysts emphasize the urgency for the team to find their rhythm quickly if they hope to salvage their playoff hopes. Despite the setbacks, players like Odafe Oweh and Kyle Van Noy are showing promise on defense, contributing significantly to the team’s efforts.
As the Ravens prepare for their next game, they must address their inconsistencies and recapture the momentum needed to thrive in a competitive season. The pressure is on for the Ravens to rise above their current struggles and reestablish themselves as a playoff contender.
Teams That Have Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford, Joe Burrow, and Trevor Lawrence Combine for 0-8 Record
Having a star quarterback is no guarantee for a good start in the NFL. This can be seen in an analysis by Brad Gagnon for Bleacher Report.
Win-loss record thus far for teams quarterbacked by Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Matthew Stafford and Trevor Lawrence
The Ravens and Bengals are experienced enough not to panic, right? Cincinnati has been here before and Joe Burrow and Co. fought hard in Kansas City, and the Ravens are the Ravens with their two-time MVP quarterback. Still, nobody expected them to be a combined 0-4.
Now Baltimore has to go to Dallas in Week 3. Yikes.
Matthew Stafford is facing tough times with the Los Angeles Rams as injuries plague the team ahead of their challenging matchup with the 49ers. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars have struggled, losing seven of their last eight games, with tough games against the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans looming.
These high-profile quarterbacks find themselves in precarious positions as the season unfolds. If they don’t get their act right as soon as possible, these guys may find themselves on the wrong end of a public backlash.
