Here’s how The Baltimore Sun sports staff views the outcome of Saturday’s Week 17 game between the Ravens and Packers in Green Bay.

Willie Colon explains why Lamar Jackson owes it to his teammates to play on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers.

During the first half of what would eventually end as a 28–24 Ravens loss, Jackson was hit in the back by New England safety Craig Woodson after a short gain on the ground. He walked to the locker room with trainers and did not return to the game, being replaced by backup Tyler Huntley.

Jackson was injured in the second quarter of last weekend's loss to New England and did not return. The two-time MVP quarterback also missed three games earlier this season because of a hamstring injury, and he's had knee, toe and ankle issues as well this season.

The Baltimore Ravens and star quarterback Lamar Jackson might be reaching a critical juncture of his tenure with the team, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler.

Things looked a little different in 2025. Baltimore stumbled out of the gate with close losses to the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions in Weeks 1 and 3, respectively. An injury to two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson left the team at 1-5 heading into their bye week.
