AFC North Preview: Baltimore Ravens

T-2. Baltimore Ravens






Projected record: 9-7(possible wildcard)


The Ravens are coming off an incredible playoff run and Super Bowl victory. Joe Flacco had a great run throwing 11 TDs and 0 INTs and cashing out in the off-season with a 100 million dollar contract. Ray Rice returns and look for him to carry a heavy load of the offense as the Ravens lost 2 of their top targets from last season (traded Anquan Boldin and Dennis Pitta is injured). Torrey Smith will looked to be more than just a deep threat and tight end Ed Dickson will be asked to replace Pitta. Defensively, they will need to replace Ed Reed, Ray Lewis, Bernard Pollard and Dannell Ellerbe. In the off-season they brought in Chris Canty, Michael Huff and Elvis Dumervil. In April, they drafted Matt Elam, Arthur Brown and Brandon Williams who look to start in their rookie season. Look for the Ravens defense to have some mental lapses but they will be the same old Ravens D. The Ravens will push for the division crown but i feel they will fall short but they have a chance to make the wildcard.
