Can Secondary Take Next Step?

The Baltimore Ravens have placed an emphasis on boosting the secondary over the past couple of seasons.

The team has tried to avoid a repeat of several late-game collapses that has coincided with a three-year playoff drought.

Last year, the secondary showed vast improvement and led the NFL with 22 interceptions.

However, the unit suffered a costly breakdown in the season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals that cost the Ravens a berth in the postseason. In that game, quarterback Andy Dalton threw a 49-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Boyd on a 4th and 12 in the final minute that gave Cincinnati a 31-27 victory.
