One game at a time.
It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Get better every day, every play.
The win is the only stat that counts.
All of these are tried, true and oft-repeated clichés that you’ll hear from players, coaches and front office personnel during the course of a season. And while each clearly resonates for most football teams, they really ring true for the 2017 Baltimore Ravens.
Unfortunately, another common cliché in the NFL is “Next Man Up”, and for the last three seasons, Ravens injuries have piled up at an uncommon rate and they now have 15 players on Injured Reserve just two games into the season.
