This is the narrative out there today on all media outlets. You’d think the Ravens would have lead all statistical categories of value. Let’s take a look then:
Baltimore on Sunday was outgained on the ground & through the air, had only 12 true first downs (5 were to penalties), were 2-8 on third down, lost the possession battle by nearly 10 minutes, and Lamar Jackson was 13-23 with 2 interceptions. The Browns thoroughly outplayed Baltimore in virtually every metric.
Well, as I learned last week, the Ravens are a young team (founded in 1996), literally having been magically hatched from an Old Bay seasoned egg and having no relationship whatsoever with anything that came before.
They’re young. They’ll bounce back.
