While the Baltimore Ravens offense exploded in the second half against Cleveland, it is still not time to fully trust them yet.

After a miserable first half on Thursday night, the Baltimore Ravens found themselves trailing 7-6 heading into the locker room. The offense had found its way into the red zone, but had struggled to convert any of the opportunities into touchdowns. A team that came into the game ranked 25th in the league in total yards and 24th in points scored, seemed to be playing up to that standard again.

It took a second half shutout from the defense and an offensive explosion to come away with a 28-7 win against the now 0-10 Cleveland Browns. The Ravens were able to win their first game by double digits since 2014. The offense struggled in the first half, but something finally seemed to click in the 2nd half. There is reason to be confident, but improvements still need to be made.

A day after a Ravens win is always good. This time we get a Friday instead of a Monday for our celebrations. We get to celebrate as fans. The Ravens however, have to get ready for their trip to Dallas. This is a great first step for a struggling offense but there is much more work to be done.
