Keep the current mantra:

What’s made the defense so good and Lamar Jackson’s impact so great has been the team’s combined enthusiasm over the last two months. The vibes the team is sending out is intoxicating, and it’s got all of us drinking the Kool-Aid. Yes, it’s what the Baltimore Ravens have cooking up right now from a emotional standpoint is what will secure a division crown for good.

Once Ray Lewis retired, the Ravens struggled to find passionate leaders to guide this team. Terrell Suggs has been a great leader, but he alone isn’t enough. The team has plenty of veterans, too, but it somehow hasn’t all clicked; at least not until now.

Now, the Ravens 2018 edition is as loud and confident as its ever been. The team is winning games with little push-back because of their attitude, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be slowing down or stopping anytime soon. This Baltimore Ravens squad is all-in for 2018.

I don’t know exactly what was discussed over the team’s week ten bye week or what kicked them in the ass to get this thing going again, but it’s worked wonderfully. Suddenly, the Ravens are determined, more now than ever before seemingly, to shut up its doubters and make everyone eat their words of doubt regarding this team. This team has plans, and it’s hard to imagine a scenario where they falter.

Next. Baltimore Ravens: All we want for Christmas in 2018 is.... dark

Yes, the Baltimore Ravens want to win the Super Bowl, but first it must get to it. Before that, the team has to make the playoffs. And before any of that can happen, the team must win the AFC North. Right now, odds seem pretty good that this will happen. However, everything can change at a moment’s notice. So, if the Ravens want to put away the AFC North and begin their playoff push, they just need to maintain everything we talked about. If they do this, the sky is the limit.
