At first, John Harbaugh said this was just one excellent game. It didn’t necessarily indicate anything about his team’s long-term prospects.
Then, when asked whether a 28-point victory over another division leader might raise eyebrows around the NFL, Harbaugh admitted it probably would.
“That’s OK with me,” the Baltimore coach said. “We like raising eyebrows in a good way.”
The Ravens beat the Los Angeles Chargers 34-6 on Sunday, a lopsided result that was hard to see coming even after Baltimore won four in a row before this matchup. For much of this season, Baltimore has needed Lamar Jackson to be spectacular, but this past weekend, the Ravens controlled the game in so many ways that it was hard to pinpoint which factor was most important.
