2. The offense can continue to grow:

The offense can continue to grow through the season. The Ravens offense has to get the running game going eventually. When the running game comes along, it will give the Ravens a chance to have the most balanced offense in the NFL. Flacco has weapons and as long as he stays healthy, he is showing that he can get the job done. If Baltimore can get this out of Flacco without a good running game, just imagine what they can do with a good running game.

Hayden Hurst hasn’t played a regular season down in the NFL, and when he comes back the Ravens could have the best and most potent, tight end pairings in the league. Hayden Hurst looked like the real deal in the preseason, while Mark Andrews had a tough time getting going. Andrews has gotten off to a sensational start to the season. He has eight receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown.

The Ravens offensive line is coming off their best game of the season, but you have to think the Ravens can keep getting more from the first five on offense. Right tackle and center have been the biggest problem areas. Orlando Brown Jr. being inserted into the starting lineup might make a big difference.

The Ravens offense is still a work in progress and that’s exciting. They haven’t shown Baltimore what they can do when they gain their full momentum and their chemistry reaches peak performance. This team is playing mostly well. If they fix the running game and get hot at the right moment, this could be a special season in Ravens history. Offense worth being excited about in Baltimore? Yes, we’re actually talking about that.
