Baltimore Ravens

Here’s a look at four early-season narratives in Baltimore and whether they hold up under scrutiny.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh declined to elaborate Monday, only saying there’s “nothing season-ending or long, long term” with any of the players injured Sunday.

The Ravens started sluggishly on offense but did enough right on defense and special teams that they put a brutal opening loss behind them with a 41-17 win over the Cleveland Browns.

The Ravens’ 41-17 win in their home opener was thorough, if a little unconventional.

In the NFL, there are no higher stakes than playing time. To get players’ attention, the coaches had to be willing to pull those strings.

It’s the small moments, the ones not caught on camera, that have helped Walker take a huge step early in his second NFL season.

DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker combined for four touchdowns in a 41-17 beatdown.

The Ravens finished with just 244 yards of total offense, 188 fewer than in their Week 1 shootout loss to the Buffalo Bills (432), but held Cleveland to 322 yards and had three field-flipping plays.

Alexander allowed three catches on three targets for 83 yards in 30 coverage snaps in the Ravens’ Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills, according to Pro Football Focus.

Nelson played seven of his eight NFL seasons in Baltimore and owned Andy Nelson’s Southern Pit Barbecue in Cockeysville.

As the Ravens prepare for Browns QB Joe Flacco’s return to Baltimore, here’s what to watch in the teams’ Week 2 matchup.

Likely ran routes and worked on a blocking sled with tight ends coach George Godsey and members of the Ravens’ athletic training staff.

The Ravens will open AFC North play Sunday against the Browns. Here are game predictions from The Banner’s sports staff.

Joe Flacco accomplished a lot in 11 seasons with the Ravens, including a Super Bowl win. But his transition into the Lamar Jackson era deserves special appreciation from Baltimore fans.

The Pro Bowl cornerback believes the Ravens need to mature on defense. Here’s what those comments reveal about the team.

“Our player’s safety is of the utmost importance,” a Ravens spokesperson said Thursday. “We have spoken to Lamar, who understands the impact of the situation, about the incident."

It’s a strange thought for older football fans in this town, but the Ravens have now been Baltimore’s team nearly as long as the Colts were before they fled to Indianapolis.

This is not going to be another year when the defense comes in with lots of hype and fails to show up in clutch moments, the Ravens say.
