11. Baltimore Ravens
Did the Baltimore Ravens take out their frustration over missing out on the playoffs last season on the Buffalo Bills? When looking at the outcome of the game, most football fans would assume that was the case when seeing how the Ravens couldn’t have asked for a better start to the new season by taking down the Bills 47-3.
Defense has been a major strength for Baltimore over the years when seeing how they always seem to rank near the top of the league as a unit, but when it came to Sunday’s game, it was the stellar play by Joe Flacco that stood out the most. For a majority of his career, Flacco has always been the quarterback that has seen his name debated over whether he deserves to be in the elite category, and it was great to see the veteran quarterback take advantage of a much improved offense.
Unlike previous seasons, Baltimore bulked up on their offense over the last few months by bringing in new receivers for Flacco to work with, such as Michael Crabtree and John Brown. The results? Well, let’s just say the Ravens and their fans have every reason to be thrilled over Flacco’s three-touchdown performance against the Bills.
