At the onset of the season, the Baltimore Ravens were a top favorite to win the AFC and the Super Bowl. And when Baltimore led the Buffalo Bills late in the Week 1 season opener on NBC Sunday Night Football, many fans and gamblers were popping champagne corks.
But from there, the season has been a disaster for Baltimore. The Ravens defense, once the toughest and tightest in the NFL, has been rendered defenseless.
On Sunday night, the Ravens will have to quickly find a way to pull themselves together against one of the NFL’s best offensive teams.
The Los Angeles Rams are in the mix for the NFC championship and have no trouble scoring. Adding to Baltimore’s worries is the status of QB Lamar Jackson.
