Lamar Jackson on Ravens owning AFC's No. 1 seed: 'Doesn't really mean anything right now'

As the Kansas City Chiefs fell on a rainy Monday night, the Baltimore Ravens rose up in the process.

Lamar Jackson and his Ravens are perched atop the AFC at the moment, seeded first in the conference.

Does it mean anything to Jackson heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers?

"Not really," Jacksons said Tuesday, via team transcript. "It's still a lot of season left to play. It doesn't really mean anything right now."

Sitting at 8-3 heading into Sunday, the Ravens' edge in the AFC and in the AFC North is precarious.

The Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns sport 7-3 tallies heading into the holiday week's festivities.

Jackson and Co. were the official No. 1 seed back in 2019, heading into the playoffs with a 14-2 record. This is a different ballgame with the Ravens atop an ultra-close conference with six weeks left in the season.

Plenty more can happen, and Jackson is well aware of that.

One major hurdle to overcome will be injuries, something Jackson is well versed in. He's missed at least the final four games of each of the last two seasons.

Jackson tweaked his ankle on multiple occasions in Thursday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals and had it heavily wrapped on the sidelines. He said it was doing well on Tuesday, though.

"I believe I'm good," Jackson said. "I believe I'm 100%."

Unfortunately, tight end Mark Andrews is not.

Though there's optimism Andrews could return from what was originally tabbed as a season-ending ankle injury, said return wouldn't come likely until the playoffs.

So, Baltimore's offense will be operating sans Andrews for the foreseeable future. While the Ravens will need to make the best of things, Jackson isn't a believer that his Pro Bowl tight end is
