With the nucleus of a perennial playoff team returning for another crack at the Super Bowl in 2015, the Ravens were fortunate to enter training camp and this month's preseason games with relatively few questions.
Those core players, who comprise the starting offense and defense, rebounded nicely Saturday from a tepid performance the previous week against the Philadelphia Eagles.
But with some of those starters unlikely to even travel to Atlanta for Thursday's preseason finale against the Falcons, their play in Saturday's 31-13 loss to the Washington Redskins means the team enters the regular season with few of those questions answered.
