Overview
- National outlets moved Baltimore down in Week 7 power rankings after Sunday's Week 6 loss to the Browns, leaving the Ravens 4-2 and under increased scrutiny.
- Coach Jesse Minter has labeled Lamar Jackson 'day to day' after the quarterback missed two games with an ankle injury and Tyler Huntley struggled to sustain the offense when starting.
- The offense has an NFL-worst 31 penalties through six weeks, including three delay-of-game calls with Huntley, and the team has used a league-high 16 offensive-line combinations, which has hurt protection and rhythm.
- Baltimore faces a decisive stretch against the Bengals, Bills and Jaguars that will largely determine whether the roster’s core talent keeps them in contention or exposes longer-term flaws.
- Markets still list the Ravens among Super Bowl contenders (DraftKings at about +1000) even as rival teams report developing injuries and practice uncertainties that could shape the AFC landscape in the coming weeks.
