The Ravens Deserve Credit for Overcoming Injuries and Keeping Games This Close

Pity the Ravens fan who spent Sunday night complaining about John Harbaugh’s going for a fourth down instead of a field goal, and a two-point conversion instead of an extra point, in their 31–30 loss to the Packers.

While Baltimore did fall into a tie for first place in the AFC North with the Bengals, the Ravens also showed to the more open-minded members of their fan base the complete and total competency with which they operate. Baltimore is the kind of organization that is never irrelevant on any Sunday, regardless of what the lineup looks like. The kind of team that approaches the draft more like a trip to the grocery store and less like scratching off lottery tickets blindfolded.
