3. The Ravens next opponent had a comeback win:

The Denver Broncos beat the Oakland Raiders with a late field goal for a 20-19 victory. The Broncos showed resolve, coming back to win the game against their division rival. The Broncos were shut out in the first half and their offense struggled. Case Keenum’s stat line wasn’t overly impressive despite leading the comeback. He went 19-35 for 222 yards and an interception. The Broncos defense had no interceptions and Von Miller had the lone sack for Denver.

The Broncos will roll into Baltimore with a 2-0 record. Denver beat the Seattle Seahawks 27-24 in their first game of the season. This will be the first road test for the Broncos. It will be interesting to see what kind of an impact the Ravens’ home field advantage has next Sunday. One thing is for sure, the Ravens gave their fans heartbreak on Thursday Night Football. John Harbaugh and company are hoping for a packed stadium, however they just gave frustrated fans a reason to suspect it’s the same old Ravens.

The Broncos haven’t had a wowing performance this season, but they are a gritty team coming off  the right side of two close calls. If the week 1 Ravens show up, they have a good chance to win. If the week 2 Ravens show up there is no chance. Hopefully the Ravens put their best foot forward, because they can work with 2-1. A 1-2 start heading into the game against the Steelers would be devastating.
