The Baltimore Ravens have consistently been one of the best teams in the NFL during Lamar Jackson’s career, but the 2025 campaign has largely been a disappointment.

And it reportedly might be an “inflection point” for the franchise.

“It has been a frustrating season on many levels,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Thursday (1:10 mark). “Lamar has not practiced as much as they thought. He has been injured in some games. … We’ll see where this goes, it does feel to me like a little bit of an inflection point.

“We have John Harbaugh discussing his status. We have the former MVP in Lamar Jackson with the opportunity to reup his contract before the season at a time when a lot of people thought he would. Did not happen. The Ravens, at the very least, have some things to figure out and some relationships to discuss in the offseason.”

Jackson is under contract through just the 2027 campaign and turns 29 years old in January. The Ravens may have to assess how they think his game will age, especially as someone who makes plays with his legs as a runner.

Then there is Harbaugh, who has been the head coach of the team since the 2008 season and suddenly finds himself addressing concerns about his job security.

“I try to do the job, not try to keep the job,” Harbaugh told reporters Monday. “My focus has been for the last 18 years here and the last 41 years in coaching is to try to do the best job I can today and fight as hard as I can so the guys have the best chance to be successful today. And anything after today, I’m not thinking about because it’s not given for us to think about.”

Baltimore has made the playoffs every year but one since it drafted Jackson in 2018, but it has never advanced past the AFC Championship Game. The issues have largely come in the playoffs, as Jackson is just 3-5 in his eight postseason starts.

But the issues have come in the regular season in 2025, as Baltimore is 7-8 and looking up at the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC North.

It now needs to win its final two games against the Green Bay Packers and Steelers all while Pittsburgh loses out. One of the Steelers’ two final games being a head-to-head matchup gives the Ravens a bit more control of the situation, but Aaron Rodgers and Co. would also have to lose to the 3-12 Cleveland Browns.

If that doesn’t happen, the Ravens may be facing some long-term decisions this offseason.
