What should the Baltimore Ravens focus on heading into a battle with the Philadelphia Eagles?

1. The Ravens need to build on their ability to move the ball on offense by finishing drives with touchdowns:

It may only be the third game of the preseason, yet the Ravens need to get better at scoring six in the red zone. Lamar Jackson has moved the offense down the field in both preseason contests. He had a touchdown pass against the Jaguars. The rest of his work has resulted in field goals. The Ravens haven’t shown the

It’s a good thing that these drives are ending in points. There is actually a lot of good to point out for the starting unit. Lamar Jackson is 10-16 for 117 yards and a touchdown. That is about as good as you could hope for in exhibition games. Mark Ingram looked great in a short night of work against the Packers. Justice Hill looks ready to make an impact right away and the offensive line has played surprisingly well. The Ravens are getting positive strides from the offense. It’s time to make more strides. They have gotten themselves in scoring range multiple times. They have to take advantage of it when Jackson is in the game.

Jackson did have a touchdown run taken away from him against the Packers. You can say that it was a bad call until you are blue in the face, but the touchdown didn’t count because of a penalty. The Ravens have shot themselves in the foot in the red zone in the preseason. In preseason play that’s not a huge deal. In a regular season game field goals aren’t always enough.
