It was a busy, busy day in Baltimore as the Ravens made a slew of roster moves.

Joe Flacco Quietly Having Career Year
Flacco has certainly had his ups and downs this season, but his total body of work speaks for itself. He is on pace to set career highs for completion percentage, passing yards, touchdowns, and passer rating, all while he is also on pace to throw the fewest number of interceptions in his career.
Schedule Falling into Place for Ravens
Things are really falling into place for the Ravens. A few weeks ago, facing the Texans and Browns was a much more daunting task than it is now, but quarterback changes have shifted the landscape considerably. While nothing is obviously guaranteed in the NFL, those changes certainly help their chances of winning out.
Ravens Have a Busy Medical Staff
With the addition of the three aforementioned players to the Ravens’ injured reserve list, the team has now placed 16 players on I.R. this year. That is the most players the team has placed on I.R. since 2008, when 19 players were on the list.
