Baltimore Ravens: 5 Keys To Reaching Super Bowl 52

Finish Games

The Ravens finished the season at 8-8, but could have easily been 12-4 if they finished games. Six of the eight losses were by one score or less. If they win two or three of those, they make it into the wild card spot.

This key goes right along with the prevent defense at the end of games. When the Ravens take a lead, they need to be able to bury the opposing team. There is no way a team like the Browns should play the Ravens close the whole game. These should be the games that the Ravens put away by halftime. Because of Justin Tucker’s accuracy, the offense relied on him too many times to get them out of trouble.

There is a reason that Tom Brady and the New England Patriots just won their 5th Super Bowl. Over the years they have dominated teams and closed out games. The Ravens need to be the team who opposing teams hate to see on their schedule. If they want to get over the hump, they are going to need to finish games on both sides of the ball.
