DE Jonathan Greenard – Houston Texans QB Lamar Jackson – Baltimore Ravens DT Sheldon Rankins – Houston Texans S Russ Yeast – Los Angeles Rams As one of three NFL teams with multiple rostered Cardinals to make the playoffs, Lamar Jackson, Malik Cunningham and the Ravens are primed to make a deep postseason run. Finishing with a 13-4 overall record, Baltimore was able to clinch the top seed in the AFC, as well as a first round bye. They’ll host the lowest remaining seed in AFC following Wild Card Weekend.

Jackson put together a phenomenal 2023 campaign, and is the clear frontrunner to win this season’s MVP and his second after winning it in 2019. His 67.2 completion percentage and 3,678 passing yards were both career-highs, and he threw 24 touchdown passes to just seven interceptions. On the ground, he ran for 821 yards and five touchdowns. Cunningham started the 2023 season with the New England Patriots, bouncing in between their practice squad and active roster before being signed by the Ravens last month. The rookie signal caller has seen action just once this season, playing six snaps in the Patriots week six matchup at the Raiders. The Rams are arguably the hottest team in the NFL entering the postseason, with Tutu Atwell and Russ Yeast hoping to guide them to their second Super Bowl win in three years. After starting the season at 3-6, Los Angeles then won seven of their last eight to finish 10-7 and clinch the No. 6 seed in the NFC.
