With 69 minutes until kickoff, read @ChildsWalker 's story on Lamar Jackson and the power of #nice . “His character goes way farther than anything he could do on the field," says the Louisville quarterback who lost his job to Jackson. bsun.md/2RxM1UR

Baltimore’s own @MichaelPhelps is in the house cheering on the squad!!

“Let’s go boys, get the W!”

The Ravens' John Harbaugh has won at least one playoff game in all six postseasons he's reached. The Chargers' Anthony Lynn has never been a head coach in a playoff game.

Chargers safety Jaheel Addae took a dangerous looking tumble over an @NFLFilms cameraman who was filming on the gro… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Small thing to note -- it is windy today at M&T Bank Stadium. Kicks could get interesting.

by Childs Walker via twitter 1/6/2019 5:55:29 PM
The Ravens are going to run and run and run today. ESPN's @MattBowen41 believes Lamar Jackson can keep it going through the playoffs.

But “over the course of his career? No, I think that number [of carries] needs to drop.” bsun.md/2F8Lt21

Cool moment after the national anthem: John Harbaugh embraces his daughter, Jerry Rosburg embraces his own daughter, and Rosburg's daughter throws an arm around Harbaugh's shoulder as they walk off the field.

Ravens send out Nick Boyle, Marshal Yanda and Sam Koch to midfield for the coin toss. They'll get the ball first.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:03:39 PM
Ravens lose the toss and will receive the opening kickoff in their first home playoff game since 2012. We'll find out fast what the Chargers defense has in store for Lamar Jackson this time. #ravens

The Ravens asked their fans to pack M&T early today, and for the first time all season, people complied. Not many empty seats at kickoff.

by Childs Walker via twitter 1/6/2019 6:04:59 PM
Ray Lewis makes a late intro and does the squirrel dance. So cross that off your game-day Bingo card.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:05:32 PM
Addae was in there for the Chargers' first snap.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:06:59 PM
Lamar Jackson's first carry results in a one-yard loss. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:07:05 PM
Nice pass by Jackson, thrown in tight window

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:08:31 PM
Jackson completes his first two passes and Ravens have a first down at the 36. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:08:36 PM
Lamar Jackson fumbles, recovers, throws a bad pass to end the drive. The Ravens have just 47 yards over their past five drives vs. the Chargers.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:10:47 PM
Whenever Jackson drops back you hold your breath for various reasons.

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:11:34 PM
Lamar Jackson fumbles and recovers himself, picking the ball up and rushing left before throwing an incomplete pass. That's his 13th fumble of the season, but he has lost only four of them. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:12:13 PM
This television timeout is so long that it's almost Lamar's 22nd birthday.

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:13:16 PM
The Chargers' opening drive today is better than their opening drive in Week 16, but only because it doesn't end in a turnover. Three-and-out, and the Ravens will take over at their 29 after an unfriendly bounce.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:15:34 PM
Chargers go three and out after Matthew Judon makes strong play on swing pass for loss. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:15:54 PM
Another fumble by Lamar Jackson. Another Ravens recovery.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:18:40 PM
Must be the Ravens year. They have fumbled twice and not lost one.

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:18:52 PM
Now Kenneth Dixon coughs it up, and the Chargers recover at the Ravens' 15. Three fumbles in eight plays.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:19:46 PM
The Ravens fumble on two snaps in a row and the Chargers get the last one. They've got a first down at the Ravens 15. Not good. Three fumbles #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:19:54 PM
Again, ball security is the biggest issue for Lamar Jackson. And Kenneth Dixon just compounded it. Will this be the week the #Ravens can't overcome it?

by Childs Walker via twitter 1/6/2019 6:20:00 PM
That was a high handoff from Jackson to Dixon which contributed to fumble.

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:20:19 PM
That's three fumbles in 10 plays from scrimmage. Wow. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:21:35 PM
Chargers RB Melvin Gordon is down on the field. He dealt with an MCL injury earlier in the season.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:23:13 PM
Melvin Gordon is headed to the locker room. Backup Austin Ekeler is active but probably not 100 percent.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:25:38 PM
Maybe Ravens are getting all their bad plays out of the way early. Three fumbles, a personal foul penalty and the Chargers are looking at third down and goal at the two. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:25:42 PM
Like the Ravens in Week 16, the Chargers can't take advantage of an early turnover and god field position and settle for a field goal.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:26:34 PM
Ravens outmuscled the Chargers two weeks ago and then they go tight formation and try to run straight ahead on third and short. Strange and bad call.

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:27:05 PM
Big series for the Ravens defense. They stuff third down play and Chargers settle for a field goal. That's a win under the circumstances. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:27:12 PM
Chargers RB Melvin Gordon (knee) is questionable to return.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:27:38 PM
Chargers RB Melvin Gordon questionable to return with a knee injury.

by Childs Walker via twitter 1/6/2019 6:27:46 PM
Lamar Jackson had 10 fumbles in seven regular-season starts. Prorated over a 16-game season, he would have about 23 fumbles -- tying the NFL record

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:28:40 PM
Chargers running back Melvin Gordon suffered a knee injury on the second and goal play. His return is announced as questionable.

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:29:10 PM
The Ravens are having all kinds of trouble containing Bosa and Ingram on the edges.

by Childs Walker via twitter 1/6/2019 6:32:38 PM
Doesn't seem like Left guard James Hurst has had a good game so far. Joey Bosa beat him for the series-ending sack.

by Jonas Shaffer via twitter 1/6/2019 6:33:06 PM
Chargers almost playing a 5-2 defense with safety Jahleel Addae playing near the line of scrimmage as an inside linebacker.

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:33:14 PM
Koch short punt and the Chargers get a big return and are back in Ravens territory at the 42. This is not going well. #ravens

by Peter Schmuck via twitter 1/6/2019 6:33:48 PM
Maybe the wind is stronger than it appears because Chargers appear to have no desire to throw down field.

by Mike Preston via twitter 1/6/2019 6:38:22 PM
Chargers kicker Michael Badgley is good from 53 yards, and Ravens trail 6-0. He was awfully inaccurate in pregame warm-ups.
