There\u2019s no way to sugarcoat the tough loss the <\/a>Baltimore Ravens<\/a> took at the hands of the Steelers. And Lamar Jackson<\/a> took it particularly hard. However, Patrick Ricard is still rocking with<\/a> Lamar Jackson despite the crushing Week 18 loss, according to a post on X by Jeff Zrebiec.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatrick Ricard: \u201cAs long as we have Lamar Jackson, this team has a chance to win a Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n

The problem with that sentiment is that Jackson hasn\u2019t come all that close. His teams have never won more than one playoff game in a given season. And his overall playoff record is 3-5.<\/p>\n

Is Patrick Ricard\u2019s loyalty warranted?<\/p>\n

Perhaps it\u2019s fair to say the Ricard should stand behind Jackson. That\u2019s what teammates do. But in the NFL, it often comes down to simple numbers. Jackson has enjoyed some tremendous seasons, but he hasn\u2019t been able to get the Ravens to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

After the season-ending 26-24 loss to the Steelers, Jackson said he doesn\u2019t know<\/a> what the future holds, according to Fox Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just lost a game \u2014 a divisional game \u2014 a game to put us in the playoffs,\u201d Jackson said when asked if he thought he would still be with the Ravens in 2026. \u201cI\u2019m not even thinking about that right now, to be honest with you. I\u2019m still caught up in what just happened. That\u2019s not my focus right now.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re asking me about next year. I\u2019m so caught up in what just happened tonight. I can\u2019t focus on that right now, I just told you. Like he asked me, \u2018Are you stunned?\u2019 I\u2019m stunned right now, and I\u2019m still trying to process what\u2019s going on. I know we lost, but what the \u2014 you know?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackson has two seasons remaining on his five-year, $260 million deal. But reports suggest he will ask for a new contract this offseason.<\/p>\n

He has a stout career record of 76-31 in the regular season. He is a four-time Pro Bowl selection and has two MVP trophies, one in 2019 and the other in 2023. Jackson finished runner-up for the award last season. But his injuries stifled his numbers in the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n
