The Baltimore Ravens may be down, but they're not out just yet.
After Sunday's 26-23 collapse against the Las Vegas Raiders, in which they blew yet another late lead, the Ravens are now 0-2 for the first time since 2015. The loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the season opener was understandable, but this loss to the Raiders - a team the Ravens should easily beat on paper - is absolutely cause for concern.
"Baltimore actually lost three straight in the middle of the 2020 season and made it to the postseason, but it needed to win out over its five subsequent games to get there,". "We're not quite in win-out world if they lose to Dallas next week, but that wouldn't be far off." Baltimore has started 0-2 just four times before in franchise history, and failed to make the playoffs on each of those occasions. They finished 8-8 in 1999, 7-9 in 2002, 6-10 in 2005 and 5-11 in 2015. Additionally, just two of the 32 teams who've started 0-2 since the playoffs expanded to 14 teams in 2020 have made the postseason, those being the 2022 Bengals and the 2023 Houston Texans.
It won't be easy to get back up, but it's important to remember that the Ravens are down, not out. Now, though, they'll need to be at the top of their game to avoid the knockout punch.
