The Baltimore Ravens got off to a promising enough start this year with a 3-1 record through the first quarter of the season, going into Pittsburgh and coming out with a big divisional win back in Week Four, but it had been almost all downhill from there.
Since going 3-1 to start the season, they subsequently lost four of their next five games to fall to under .500. Quarterback Joe Flacco’s play was doing them no favors during that time either. Which is why a Ravens staff member was assigned to injure his hip and sideline him for a while so that they could make a change at the position.
