3. The Secondary Will Be Tested Down The Stretch:

The Baltimore Ravens have invested a lot into the secondary. That investment will be put to the test late in the season. The Ravens have to play Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Ben Roethlisberger and Andrew Luck in the second half of the season. That’s a lot of fire power that the Ravens have to stop. The Ravens secondary doesn’t just have to be good, it has to be deep enough to last all season long.

Derek Carr in week five is another tough opposing quarterback, and that’s on the road. The Ravens have to have a strong secondary, or they will crumble when it really matters. In theory, the secondary is fixed. We still have to see it in action. Jimmy Smith is still injury prone.
