Lamar Jackson has ideal response to Ravens' two-game winning streak

The vibe around the Baltimore Ravens has shifted in the past couple of weeks, with John Harbaugh's team, after being 1-5, has now won back-to-back games and has Lamar Jackson back on the field.

That is a good spot to be, but the Ravens' season is still on life support as the Minnesota Vikings come into view in Week 10.

Having had a dark cloud hanging over the franchise for the best part of six weeks, those stormy clouds have begun to dissipate, with the Ravens now seemingly in a groove and ready to go on a run that is desperately needed if playoff football is to be achieved.

But make no mistake, Lamar doesn't want the anointing oils out just yet.

"Absolutely,” Jackson said on if there is confidence in the locker room. “But we got to stay locked in, can't get on the high horse just from winning two games in a row. We got to stay locked in.”

Ravens' season on the line vs. Vikings

Given the predicament the Ravens find themselves in, we are going to be saying this every week.

A loss would be catastrophic to the Ravens' playoff chances, which right now are already slim, but a win, and the hope grows that something can still be salvaged from this season.

Lamar was superb in his first game back against the Miami Dolphins, throwing four touchdowns, and now will be on the road again in Minnesota -- more of the same is needed.

Baltimore feels like it has its legs underneath it again after a horror start, but, as Jackson states, the team can be drinking its own bathwater; there is still a long road to navigate.

And like last week, the road to the postseason continues with a single step.
