What happened: Lamar Jackson is entering his ninth NFL season with the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore is installing a new offense under first-year coordinator Declan Doyle.
Why it matters: Jackson has reached one AFC championship game as Baltimore's starter but has yet to appear in a Super Bowl. The new coaching staff makes 2026 a test of how quickly the offense can translate.
By the numbers: Jackson is 3-5 in eight playoff starts, including three divisional-round exits and one AFC championship appearance.
What to watch: Watch how Jackson handles Doyle's scheme during the preseason and whether the offense is settled by Week 1.
