3. The Ravens have plenty of leadership

The Ravens are a team that is completely rolling. They know what they’re about and who they are as a team. Lamar Jackson is an MVP candidate with a firm command on the offense. The Ravens have plenty of leadership. They have Mark Ingram II in the backfield and Marshal Yanda on the offensive line. They have a great head coach in John Harbaugh and a mastermind offensive coordinator in Greg Roman. Joe D’Alessandris is probably the best offensive line coach in the NFL. One setback isn’t going to knock this team off course. Losing Skura for the season is adversity the Ravens are built to overcome.

Let’s take a look at what the Ravens have done. They have crushed good teams, they have won seven straight games and they have built an unbelievable amount of momentum. The team chemistry is one of the most exciting parts of this team. The 2019 Ravens just seem to have the magic formula. This feels like a Super Bowl team, and they have a strong shot at being one.

The point here is that this injury doesn’t change the course of the season. It won’t change the fact that the Ravens have a great offensive line. The offensive line around Mekari is so good, they just need him to be good enough. The Ravens have too much going for them to let this slow them down. The Ravens are about to play a San Francisco 49ers team with an amazing defensive line. The Ravens will get a chance to see if the offensive line can hold up to a Super Bowl contender with a top defense without Skura.
