OWINGS MILLS, Md. — The Baltimore Ravens can’t win the AFC North for a third straight season, but they have staked their claim to another title: Best team in the division right now.
While the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers have lost three straight games, the Ravens have reeled off three consecutive victories, watching Lamar Jackson revert back to his NFL MVP form. During Baltimore’s winning streak, the Ravens rallied to complete a season sweep of the second-place Browns in Cleveland.
Earlier this month, Baltimore was scrambling to fill its game-day roster after enduring one of the biggest COVID-19 outbreaks in professional sports.
