The Baltimore Ravens have everything at stake on Sunday.
They dominated winning teams all season long and proved to be the best and most consistent squad in the entire league.
Then again, they still need to get past Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs to reach the Super Bowl.
All the pressure is on the home team.
They have the best record in the league, they’re at home, and they’re the up-and-coming team that’s looking to dethrone the reigning Super Bowl champions.
Nonetheless, despite all that, Lamar Jackson is unfazed.
According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN, the former MVP stated that he is currently ‘cool, calm, and collected’ ahead of the big game.

This is a crucial matchup for the Louisville product.
He’s 2-3 in his playoff career and had never reached this stage.
There were several doubts about his playing style and whether it could translate to postseason success, and with all that was said about him in the offseason, there’s more at stake than just a simple win.
Jackson and the Ravens went 6-0 against teams that were at least three games above .500 this season, proving that they could dominate even the stronger squads in the league.
Whether they’ll be able to do so under the brightest lights and against the team to beat remains to be seen, but it seems like their superstar quarterback isn’t losing any sleep over it.
