The Baltimore Ravens’ playoff hopes seemed finished early in their 2025 campaign. Heading into their Week 7 bye, they were one of the worst teams in football at 1-5, and were buried behind the competition in the AFC North, shockingly sitting in last place.
The Ravens needed nearly everyone to step up if they wanted a shot at the playoffs this year, and somehow that happened. The defense that was on a historically bad pace has turned on the jets and is one of the best units in the NFL over the last seven weeks. Offensively, the explosiveness may not be there, but with quarterback Lamar Jackson at the helm and running back Derrick Henry in the backfield, they are finding ways to get the job done.
