Just over a week ago, the Baltimore Ravens were surging. They were riding a five-game winning streak heading into their Thanksgiving matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals, seeking to capitalize on a golden chance to take control of the AFC North. That did not happen.
The Ravens were flat-out embarrassed in Week 13, and while they have a longer week to prepare for their next game, they clearly have some soul-searching to do. The team has struggled all year to find a rhythm, and entering a rivalry showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, they are running out of time to ignite that flame.
