The Baltimore Ravens have continued their successful run in 2023, leading them to the AFC’s best record.
One of their reasons for this success has been due to their offense, which seems to be surging at the right time.
Their defense has also continued to put in work, helping put Lamar Jackson in a better position.
Jackson recently recognized the strength of the defense in a tweet, responding to Sarah Ellison’s post about their best linebacker duo.
Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen both have over 100 tackles this season, to which Jackson responded, “Facts!”

He understands the importance of having two elite players on a defense, and what that can do for a quarterback’s confidence.
The Ravens’ defense is second-best in the NFL in terms of points allowed per game, giving up just 15.6 PPG.
Queen and Smith are a massive part of this success, getting to opposing quarterbacks and making things difficult for them.
As Ellison points out, they are the best linebacker tandem in the league.
With any luck, this dominance will continue throughout the rest of the season, contributing to what the Ravens expect to be a massive year.
They have not found great success in the postseason lately, something they are hoping to change in 2023.
Jackson is playing MVP-caliber football, and with an elite defense backing him up, the Ravens seem destined for great success.
The AFC continues to be a strong conference.
For teams to make an impact, they need to be solid on both sides of the ball, something the Ravens appear to have down.
