This weekend, the four teams left standing in the NFL playoffs will play for the opportunity to advance to the Super Bowl, with the NFC and AFC Championship Games set to get underway in San Francisco and Baltimore, respectively.
Of the teams left standing in the postseason, the Baltimore Ravens are widely considered to be the favorite to win it all, with Lamar Jackson and company firing on all cylinders on both sides of the football.
Along with being slightly favored to come out on top against the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, the Ravens proved they can contend with and dominate the San Francisco 49ers if given the opportunity, as they crushed Brock Purdy during the tail end of the regular season.
With the Ravens looking like the best team in the NFL right now, James Jones of FOX Sports believes that all the pressure moving forward is on Jackson to perform, via “Speak” on FS1.

It’s safe to say that the least amount of pressure is on the Detroit Lions, as Jared Goff and company have nothing to lose, having already exceeded expectations with two playoff wins.
The 49ers will have a fair amount of pressure due to the history of the franchise and the team being among the best teams in the league for a few years now.
Kansas City has already gotten further than most people gave them credit for, with this season seeming like a down year.
As for Jackson, Baltimore is expected to advance to the Super Bowl and win it all, so the pressure is there and will only increase with each win.
