The Baltimore Ravens have made the playoffs in six of the past seven seasons but haven't gotten over the postseason hump. Owner Steve Bisciotti is itching to end that streak.
"I want to win now," Bisciotti said, via the team's official website, at the NFL's Annual League Meeting. "I want to win with these guys."
The Ravens are 3-6 over the past six playoff trips, never winning more than one game in any span and bowing out thrice in their first tilt. Lamar Jackson has famously struggled in the postseason, going 3-5 in eight starts with a 60.6 completion percentage, 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
Bisciotti believes the two-time NFL MVP, who put up his best statistical passing season in 2024, can lead the Ravens back to the mountaintop after Baltimore has gone a dozen seasons since hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.
"We've got a window with Lamar," Bisciotti said. "I know what we can do. I know that we worked to put ourselves in position to win. We all get credit for that. That's all you can do. I hate it that every year, you just have to start back over again. But you know what? This is not for the meek."
Biscotti added: "I don't look at Lamar singularly. I want it for Ronnie Stanley, I want it for Marlon Humphrey. It just doesn't stop with Lamar. I want it for (general manager) Eric DeCosta."
The Ravens enter Year 18 under John Harbaugh, who recently inked a new extension. The coach owns a career 13-11 record in the postseason -- a record that has been dragged down in recent years after a hot start to his run in Baltimore (9-4 in his first five years).
Bisciotti, who has been the majority owner of the Ravens since 2004, understands how tough it is to build a yearly winner in the NFL. The 64-year-old said he appreciates how hard it is to win a Super Bowl, but simply being in contention every year isn't the goal.
"I don't like waiting 12 years, yet I'm respectful of the fact that I've got partners (owners) downstairs that still don't have one," he said. "Impatience is good for you. I think it's healthy to a degree because you know all of us still feel it."
