Going Forward
After a breakout performance from the offense, Ravens fans should be confident, but should not get too ahead of themselves. The lack of offense in the first half is still a major concern. Luckily the Browns had offensive problems of their own, only producing 144 total yards. The defense continues to play lights out, but it’s a two way street here. The potential on offense is there, it just needs to be shown for 4 straight quarters.
I still do not trust the offense and neither should anyone else. With upcoming games against the Cowboys and Patriots, the Ravens are going to need to play a complete offensive game if they want to win. If they play same way against quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Dak Prescott, there is going to be some trouble.

With the way the AFC North is heading, it is possible that 9-7 could win the division. The Ravens have a tough upcoming schedule and will need to play great football just to get to that record.
