It is a well known fact that Joe Flacco is a competitive guy, who has high expectations for himself and for the Ravens as a team. Entering his 8th season, his statistics have steadily climbed, with his win total fluctuating between 8 and 12 wins. Following last years season where the Ravens were on the cusp of reaching the AFC championship game before blowing two 14 point leads to the Patriots despite a decimated secondary, expectations are high in Baltimore.
While most would not be so bold to express this sentiment out loud, Flacco has no problem raising the bar for himself and his fellow Ravens.
