The Ravens were brought back to earth in last night’s game against the Bengals. After a Week 1 game that had some fans and media discussing how good the Ravens could potentially be in 2018, the team showed some familiar reasons why they have a 41-41 record since winning the Super Bowl in 2012.
There’s plenty of blame to go around following the underwhelming performance. Joe Flacco was inaccurate, missing wide open receivers, including on some critical third downs that would have extended drives. The defense came out flat and ill-prepared, which put the team in a huge hole early on.
