The Ravens lost 28-24 to the still undefeated Steelers this past Sunday. As a result, they slightly slid in the power rankings. Each of the five power rankings this week placed the Ravens at number five overall.
ESPN pointed to Baltimore’s rushing attack as a reason for optimism.
The Ravens lead the NFL in rushing with 178.7 yards per game, and Baltimore is tough to beat when its dominant ground game is clicking. Since John Harbaugh became coach in 2008, Baltimore is 75-19 (.797) when rushing for more than 120 yards in a game.
