The Baltimore Ravens currently have a commanding lead in the AFC North division standings, with John Harbaugh’s squad sporting an impressive record of 9-3 heading into Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are only two wins behind the division-leading Ravens, it seems like a foregone conclusion at this point that Baltimore will win the division title and punch their ticket to the NFL playoffs that way.
However, the Ravens will want to keep winning football games moving forward and will need to take every opponent seriously from here on out, meaning the Rams will not be taken lightly this weekend at M&T Bank Stadium.
Unfortunately, Baltimore might have to try to get the best of Matthew Stafford and company without their superstar quarterback under center, as Lamar Jackson has taken ill.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Jackson is currently dealing with an illness that kept him away from the media portion of today’s practice.

Jackson is currently listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Rams, along with wide receiver Rashod Bateman and linebacker Malik Harrison.
If Jackson isn’t ready to take the field against the Rams on Sunday, the Ravens will likely turn to Tyler Huntley, who is currently second on the depth chart at the quarterback position behind Jackson and ahead of Josh Johnson.
Even without Jackson, Baltimore will likely be favored at home to come out on top against the visiting Rams on their home field, which would give them 10 wins on the season.
