Opinion: I still believe a healthy Joe Flacco gives the Ravens the best chance to win any given game in 2018, and they desperately need to beat the Cincinnati Bengals on Nov. 18 to keep their playoff hopes alive. For that reason, the best–case scenario for the team is he is able to play on effectively despite his hip injury.
Fact: Since Flacco became the starter in 2008, the Ravens are 2-4 in games he does NOT start. They all came in 2015 after he suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 10.
