The Baltimore Ravens have kept their season alive with a 27-19 win over the Minnesota Vikings on the road as John Harbaugh's team has now won three games in a row to move to 4-5.
With every game a win-or-go-home game when it comes to the Ravens' playoff hopes, Baltimore has put its head down and has begun to play the sort of football that it needed to.
As the Ravens are now beginning to build some momentum after being dead in the water at 1-5, the team could be forgiven for getting their confidence up after their recent performances, but for Lamar, when asked if the team, on both sides of the ball, has turned the corner, he gave the ideal response.
"Yeah, but it's still a lot of ball left," Jackson said. "We got to stay locked in. Can't be complacent or nothing like that. We got to stay locked in."

Ravens keep season alive ahead of AFC North gauntlet
Baltimore has done exactly what it needed to, and as odd as it sounds, now comes perhaps the most important stretch of the 2025 season.
At 4-5, the Ravens are still in the playoff hunt, but an AFC North gauntlet awaits.
Four of Baltimore's next five games are against division opponents, so this will be truly make-or-break for Harbaugh's team.
The Browns are up first on the road, before two games against the Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers could see the Ravens' season over at Week 15, or still well and truly alive.
The Ravens have done well to slowly dig themselves out of their 1-5 hole, but it is clear the hard work is only just beginning.
