Ravens get it done with the backups: Questions, Comments and Concerns
By Keith Runk
Addressing the questions, comments and concerns after the Baltimore Ravens record setting victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers:
After advancing to 14-2, the 2019 Baltimore Ravens have cemented their legacy as the best regular season team in franchise history.
As the lights were turned out on the NFL’s 100th season, Baltimore turned out the lights on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff hopes. With Robert Griffin III leading a crew of back-ups, the Ravens proved that in life only three things are inevitable: death, taxes and the Ravens’ rushing attack.
The tone was set immediately. This was a game where more players had a rushing attempt than caught a pass. The game plan was obvious, and the Ravens executed perfectly to the tune of 223 rushing yards.
While, to the fans, this game seemed meaningless, it certainly meant a lot for Robert Griffin III. I’m not quite sure I have ever seen someone have so much fun on a football field.
But now the real fun starts.
With the playoff slate set, the Ravens get to kick back, relax and wait for their first opponent. The Bank was rocking in the rain today and I’m sure things will be ratcheted up for the second home playoff game in 6 years.
After finishing with the best record in franchise history, the Ravens now have to solidify their success. As the 1995 Bulls mantra said, “It don’t mean a thing without the ring.”
