The Baltimore Ravens are 3-3. These five stats tell the true story of the season through six games:

The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in the NFL. They threaten to give you heart failure every single week as the game goes down to the wire. This season can be called many things, but intense is the adjective that paints the most accurate picture. Every week seems to be the same thing. Win or lose, this team has you on the edge of your seat.

The Ravens are right in the thick of the AFC playoff picture with a little more than half a season to go. With a 3-3 record the purple and black are right on the tail of the 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers. With Ben Roethlisberger set to miss the next four to six weeks of action, the Steelers probably won’t run away with this division. If the Ravens take care of their business moving forward, the AFC North could be theirs. The situation isn’t bleak however it certainly feels that way.

The Ravens lost the last three games. The 3-0 start seems like a distant memory and it’s beginning to look like last season’s disaster. Baltimore football has seen better days, that is for sure. Who are the Ravens? Is this a good team that just needs to figure some things out? Are the Baltimore Ravens set to slide into mediocrity? What is the story that the stats tell?
