At the end of another stellar season, Ravens’ Lamar Jackson will still face doubters in the playoffs

Associated Press  

— As far as Lamar Jackson is concerned, most of his postseason disappointments are well in the past. There’s one obvious exception — last year’s AFC championship game, when the top-seeded Ravens were at home against Kansas City but still couldn’t overcome the Chiefs. At this time of year, Jackson still has his share of doubters — and acknowledges himself that his approach hasn’t always been ideal. Jackson’s resume — two MVPs but only two playoff victories — makes him an easy target. Last season, Jackson accounted for four touchdowns in a playoff rout of Houston, but the following week, Baltimore’s offense was largely contained in a 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.
