The Baltimore Ravens were an under-the-radar pick to win the AFC this season. Some had their early doubts about the Ravens, but following their 2-0 start to the campaign, many are starting to become believers in the AFC North powerhouse.

Lamar Jackson was a believer in this year’s Ravens team from the get-go, and its overall performance against the Cincinnati Bengals reinforced this belief for him.

"[It's] like I've been saying since camp — the sky is the limit for this team," Jackson said after the game. "All phases, I believe, we fought today how we're supposed to in tough game [against] the former division champs.

“[They're] a great team by the way, all phases as well. We just did what were supposed to do."

The Ravens took care of business on Sunday with one of the biggest statement road wins of the Lamar Jackson era. From the five scoring drives by the offense to the pair of crucial red zone stops by the defense, it was an all-around showing from the current AFC North leaders.

Now, Jackson hopes to see the entire team remain focused on the goals ahead.

"We're going to need everyone," Jackson said. "We showed that today. Everyone touching the ball, getting yards after the catch, [and] keeping the chains moving.

"We're going to need everyone. [I'm] praying that everyone stays healthy, and we just stay locked in."

The Ravens now have their sights set on a home matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3.
