BALTIMORE’S BEST PUSHBACK

Franchise Direction Is Baltimore’s Only Close Fight

Baltimore's long-term direction gives the team one place to push back. Baltimore sits only 1.6 points behind Kansas City in Franchise Direction, but close is not the same as an edge. Kansas City still has Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and the deeper roster, two advantages the Ravens cannot match in this comparison.
