It could be a long, hard climb for the Ravens to get back atop the AFC, especially with the way the upper-echelon teams have built their rosters.
The Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, and Kansas City Chiefs all have hired-powered, explosive offenses that keep opponents on their heels.
The Ravens had trouble with big plays last season — they couldn’t create them and they couldn’t stop them.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was especially problematic for the Ravens, throwing for 941 yards with seven touchdowns in just two games.
Burrow is in his second year and will only get better and the Ravens are going to need to adjust to knock the Bengals from their perch atop of the AFC North.
