The decision was made following the Ravens’ Week 4 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Ravens lost their next two games, bringing the team’s loss total to four.

The Ravens advanced to the AFC Championship Game and Jackson received MVP honors for the second time. Baltimore won a playoff game last season and entered 2025 with hopes of contending for a Super Bowl title.
It remains to be seen whether the removal of gaming consoles and other recreational items will impact the Ravens as the team attempts to turn around its season.
