Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has expressed a strong sense of urgency for the team to win a Super Bowl this season. Flowers said the Ravens have a championship window that is open now and the team must capitalize on it. He believes quarterback Lamar Jackson is ready to lead the team to a title, and the entire roster shares Flowers' championship mindset.

Why it matters

The Ravens have been a consistent playoff contender in recent years but have yet to win a Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. Flowers' comments indicate the team and its players feel the pressure to win it all this season before their championship window potentially closes.

He believes the Ravens' championship window is open now and the team must seize the opportunity. Flowers expressed confidence in Jackson's readiness, saying the quarterback is 'even more ready this year' and is 'excited' about the coaching staff changes.

What they’re saying

“Honestly, I still [haven't] gotten over it. I still think about it, but I know next year, we have a chance to get back there and try to make it to the Super Bowl, so that's why I'm working every day and going hard every day to get back to that moment.”

“Yes, absolutely [there's a sense of increased urgency]. We all know that, though. I feel like the whole team knows that. I feel like everybody has a window, like different teams. It doesn't matter who it is, you are going to have a window, and you have to just seize your opportunity. And this is our window, I feel like.”

“[Lamar Jackson] is ready, man. I feel like we answer that every year, and he is always ready. So, he's even more ready this year. He's excited about the coaching staff. He's excited about getting to work with Coach Declan. So yes, he's ready to go. He wants to finish. He wants to get a ring.”
