Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is considered the favorite to win his second NFL MVP award next month. First-round pick Zay Flowers is having the best rookie season for a wide receiver in franchise history. Defensively, the Ravens have as many as three first-team All-Pros with Hamilton, middle linebacker Roquan Smith and defensive lineman Justin Madubuike. Todd Monken and Mike Macdonald, Baltimore’s offensive and defensive coordinators, have had hot hands for much of the season and are garnering head-coaching buzz.
However, the strength of this league-best 13-3 Ravens team lies in its depth and the contributions it gets weekly from up and down the roster.
