The Ravens have lost four games in a row. It is the worst losing streak of the John Harbaugh era. We’ve played the blame game over the past several weeks. Today w take a look at the five Ravens who don’t deserve the blame.

Just a month ago, the Baltimore Ravens sat on top of the AFC North at 3-0, and everyone was happy. After four straight losses, everyone wants to run for the hills. Several problems popped up during the losing streak. The fact that 15 players landed on the IR and several others already missed games due to injury tramples the team’s depth. Poor offensive play calling limits the number of sustained drives. Joe Flacco’s interception, Devin Hester’s fumbled punts, failing on fourth down attempts, failing to account for Odell Beckham, etc.

All the negatives over shadow several remarkable performances so far this season. The defense returned to the level of a classic Ravens’ team. Granted, the above-mentioned performance against the Giants hurts this narrative, but it can’t change the fact that the Ravens rank fourth in total defense. Plus, the struggling offense has some standouts. Don’t give up on this team just yet. Focus on the positive with these five bright spots.
