Any season for any team in the NFL is a journey. And like most journeys, the NFL variety is littered with challenges and setbacks. Things might not go exactly as planned but the best teams turn difficulties into learning experiences, the intent of which is to improve along the way.

The highly touted, new look offense appeared to be as challenged as that of former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman. But excellence is a process. It is the culmination of building blocks and as the engineered construction unfolds, the goal is to improve upon the foundation – to shape it into a launching pad for better things to come.
