Ravens Mandatory Credit: Tommy Gilligan-USA TODAY Sports
There’s no real reason the Baltimore Ravens can’t make the Super Bowl this year. The story of Baltimore isn’t some kind of pre-destined Greek tragedy, and there isn’t a singular fatal flaw that threatens to bring down their entire season.
In the past, Baltimore has been good — good enough to have scored the most points in the league over the last two years, going 25-7 over that stretch.
If you’re still looking for an Achilles heel, you might find it in bad playoff luck, when Baltimore bowed out far too early given its season record.
