OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Minutes after the Baltimore Ravens knocked off another likely NFL playoff team, coach John Harbaugh complimented his pass rush, handed out game balls to two of his running backs and summed up the hottest streak in the league.
"Let's keep stacking statements," Harbaugh said. "As the stakes get bigger, the focus gets narrower because the rewards are much greater. Our opportunity is right there in front of us."
The Ravens (8-2) don't have the NFL's best record. Baltimore isn't even the AFC's top seed. But with quarterback Lamar Jackson playing at an MVP level and the defense starting to strike just as much fear in teams, the Ravens can lay claim to one title -- the NFL's scariest team.
