The Baltimore Ravens had a promising 2024 season, finishing with a 12-5 record and making it to the Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Led by quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry, the Ravens showcased a dynamic offense that was nearly unstoppable at times.
However, their journey ended in disappointment with a 27-25 loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Star safety Kyle Hamilton has been vocal about the team's performance and what they need to improve.
In a recent statement on the team's website, Hamilton emphasized that the Ravens have all the necessary pieces to win a championship.
"I've had so many people ask me what the Ravens are missing. I'm like, literally nothing," he said.
"We have everything you want to win a championship. It's just we haven't been playing well when we got to the point that we need to win. There's no excuses for that. It's just offense, defense, special teams, we have to do better."
Hamilton's comments highlight the team's need for better execution, especially in high-pressure situations.
"During the regular season every year I've been here, it seems like we get in a groove, and there's like a six-week stretch where we're just blowing people out, and I think we sometimes struggle with playing from behind because we don't do it a lot," Hamilton said.
"So in the playoffs, on the road, hostile environment, playing from behind was just unusual territory, so we have to lock in that much more. Obviously don't plan on playing from behind in the future, but if it does happen, we have to be able to respond correctly and just execute."
With a solid foundation in place, the team is optimistic about their chances of contending for a Super Bowl in the coming seasons.
The Ravens need to improve and their current roster; it will be crucial as they prepare for the coming season and its challenges.
