We as a whole, fans, media, and otherwise, are guilty of saying “this is the biggest game they’ve played since…” I can certainly admit to being guilty of this, especially with the many trials that the Baltimore Ravens have gone through over the last few years.
Still, this upcoming Sunday Night Football game vs. the New England Patriots has an entirely different feel around it. It’s not just about the fact that the Patriots are undefeated, nor is it that Baltimore needs to win its first prime time game of the season.
No, it’s the fact that this game is a chance to send a message: The Baltimore Ravens are to be taken seriously.
