Ravens Acknowledge Another Disappointing Performance
The Baltimore Ravens concluded their season with a mix of highs and lows, reflecting on their performance and future prospects. After a promising five-game winning streak, the team faced difficulties that contributed to a disappointing record.
Season Overview
The Ravens started the season strong, moving from a 1-5 record to 6-5. However, they struggled to maintain momentum following Week 12. Ultimately, they finished with a 3-6 record at home and lost four of their last six games. This decline was particularly disheartening for both players and fans.
Team Reflections
Player Kolar expressed frustration about the end of the season, likening it to a horror movie. He remarked, “The last game was kind of an encapsulation of the entire season.” According to Kolar, successful teams often find ways to win, something the Ravens struggled with this year.
Veteran player Ricard, who is set to become a free agent, remains optimistic about the team’s future. He believes that as long as Lamar Jackson is part of the team, they have a chance to vie for a Super Bowl title. “He makes this thing go,” Ricard stated, emphasizing Jackson’s importance to their success.
Looking Ahead
Ricard noted the significance of having a strong backfield, mentioning his support for bringing in Derrick Henry. He views this combination as a vital asset for the Ravens in the upcoming season. Despite facing several close losses that could create mental barriers, Ricard plans to channel the pain of defeat into motivation for improvement.
Lessons Learned
Ricard also highlighted the importance of self-reflection in overcoming setbacks: “When we fall short, you have to look in the mirror and try to think of what you could have done better.” This approach may provide the resolve needed to push through the team’s challenges.
- Season Record: 6-5 after a five-game winning streak

As the Ravens regroup for the upcoming season, the focus will be on learning from this year’s disappointments and striving for greater success. The combination of lessons learned and player potential leaves fans hopeful for a brighter future.
