2. A contending team that’s bought in:

The Baltimore Ravens believe in the Baltimore Ravens. That’s what is so exciting about this team. The Ravens have committed to being themselves. They have the best dual threat quarterback the league has ever seen. They dominate the battle in the trenches and the things that they do well, they do better than anyone. The Ravens are a young team that’s bought in to what John Harbaugh is selling. That’s why the Ravens have a chance to win the Super Bowl. That’s why the Ravens have a chance to have another era of being contenders.

This team was built the right way. Think about the starting offense. Everybody in the backfield was drafted by the Ravens other than Mark Ingram. Think about the offensive line. Every single one of them was either drafted or signed as an undrafted free agent by Baltimore.

Think about the tight ends that are the stars of the show. Nick Boyle, Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews were all draft picks of the Baltimore Ravens. There are only a handful of veteran players who came from other teams that are starters in Baltimore. The Ravens have never been this exciting and they have never had more young talent. This isn’t just a now thing. The Ravens are going to be a problem for their opponents for a long time.

The chemistry on this team is perfect. It feels like a season like this just has to end in a Super Bowl. To be this good and to be this dominant, the team has to have an undying belief in every little thing that they do. You will never see run blocks with more purpose than you see out of the purple and black. There is a reason the Ravens look overly prepared for games. When things are rolling the way they’ve been rolling, it’s easy to be 100 percent all-in. Watching this team feels like watching a sports movie. Baltimore has to be thankful for the show.
