Things were looking bleak two months ago for the Baltimore Ravens, and their head coach, John Harbaugh. While he led them to a Super Bowl in 2012, they had been anything but super since. Over the next five years, they went exactly 40-40 and only reached the postseason one time. They have had some high-profile end-of-season failures to end playoff bids two years in a row.
Then Joe Flacco got injured and, frankly, changed everything. They installed rookie Lamar Jackson at quarterback and defenses are still trying to figure him out as running backs like Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon have a field day rushing while opponents try to account for the running quarterback.
