We’re continuing our series of X-factors for Dallas Cowboys opponents this year. Today, we examine the Baltimore Ravens. Since their inception in the mid-1990s, the Ravens have been a model of consistency, winning two Super Bowls with some of the decorated players in the 2000s era of the NFL. However, in recent years, Baltimore hasn’t lived up to expectations. Last season, the Ravens secured the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye but were done in at home by the eventual champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens are perhaps the only team that rivals the Cowboys’ postseason pressure to perform in the playoffs, with much of the critique falling on their quarterback Lamar Jackson.
