Baltimore's Week 4 win became a survival test when Lamar Jackson left with an ankle injury, and the Ravens still found a way through Zay Flowers and the defense. Flowers went for 118 receiving yards, while Baltimore protected a 24-18 lead after the offense lost its quarterback. The roster still has contender talent, but Jackson's health now matters more than any early concern about the new coaching staff.
Baltimore moved lower despite a 24-18 win over Tennessee after Lamar Jackson left with an ankle injury. The resulting declines in QB Stability and Roster Strength outweighed gains in Recent Performance and Defense Strength.
Baltimore still begins with Lamar Jackson forcing a defense to account for the quarterback in the run fit, but Week 4 showed there is more underneath that identity. Zay Flowers can carry volume, the defense can protect a lead and the Ravens can survive stretches without Jackson creating every answer. His ankle still changes the ceiling, because no replacement recreates the stress he puts on every front.
Jesse Minter inherited a team whose offense and defense both rely on disguise. His first test is preserving that timing after the opening script, especially when Lamar Jackson is forced into a straight dropback game.
Pick the winner.
Baltimore has one of the league’s more favorable remaining roads at No. 24, with opponents averaging 78.4. Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars still give the schedule a real test, but 2 games against current top-10 teams keep the full road from looking as heavy as most.
Toughest remaining opponent: 
Buffalo Bills at 84.9 PFM.
Shared profile: Coaching Direction and Explosiveness.
Baltimore supports the quarterback with the run game and play action, while Buffalo gets there with motion and formation stress. That means Baltimore can pull linebackers toward the run before throwing behind them, while Buffalo can force coverage to declare before the snap. Buffalo owns the quarterback edge because motion and formation stress creates more help before the down turns into rescue football.
Cincinnati is the only AFC North rival with enough quarterback firepower to match Baltimore score for score. The Ravens own the deeper defensive answer, but Joe Burrow can erase that edge if Jesse Minter's new system loses its disguise.
Badge ended: Quarterback Edge.

See the current Baltimore Ravens depth chart across offense, defense and special teams.
Baltimore's edge group leans on Trey Hendrickson and veteran front help, making long-term pass-rush succession a major draft question. A younger pressure player would protect the defense against age and turnover up front.
Baltimore's safety depth is thinner than its corner group, with Jaylinn Hawkins currently starting at strong safety. A rangy safety who can cover and rotate down would give the secondary more flexibility.
The Ravens have workable interior starters, but the line has several moving parts around center and guard. Adding a young interior blocker would give Lamar Jackson better continuity and improve depth behind the starting five.
