Fear not, Baltimore Ravens fans. If history repeats itself, Lamar Jackson and company will be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at Levi’s Stadium next year.
Several folks on X/Twitter pointed out that with Sunday’s loss to Buffalo, the 2018-2024 Ravens join Peyton Manning’s 1999-2005 Indianapolis Colts as the only NFL teams in history to win 80-plus games in a seven-year stretch WITHOUT reaching the Super Bowl.
But here’s the catch: Manning and the Colts won it all in the 2006. So if history repeats itself, the Ravens will celebrate a Super Bowl victory next year:
Super Bowl 60 will be held on Feb. 8, 2026.
Lamar Jackson Has Plenty Of Time To Break Through
Remember, there were times where John Elway and Peyton Manning were both labeled as guys who “couldn’t win the big one.” Lamar Jackson is only 28, and Elway and Manning were 37 and 30, respectively, when they won their first rings.
So don’t give up hope, Ravens fans. There is lots of time for Jackson to break through.
