Ravens Rise in Power Rankings After Comeback Win
After finishing last week as a consensus top-five team in the power rankings, the Ravens continued to rise following their 24-10 win over the Colts.
Baltimore was ranked fourth or better in five of the six publications we looked at this week. The common praise among pundits? Resiliency.
"[A] hellish eight-day stretch for the Ravens, one that included a bitter defeat to the Steelers, the loss of star left tackle Ronnie Stanley to injury, Marlon Humphrey's positive coronavirus test and the ensuing march of six Ravens to the COVID-19 list under the 'close contact' designation," NFL.com's Dan Hanzus wrote. "That's a lot of obstacles, but Baltimore still delivered a win over the Colts in Indianapolis. The Ravens had just 55 total yards of offense in the first half, but Jackson and Co. got hot after the intermission, while the Ravens defense gave Philip Rivers and the Colts attack no path to success. A win to build off."
The Ravens had lost 20 straight games when trailing at halftime heading into Sunday, but this time was different. Baltimore scored 17 unanswered points to overcome a 10-7 deficit and improve to 6-2 on the season.
"That team that showed up in the second half against the Colts is the one we expected to see this season. Maybe that will get the offense cranked up," CBS Sports' Pete Prisco wrote.
The Ravens made their biggest jump in ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and CBS Sports' rankings, moving up two spots from No. 5 to No. 3. They moved up one spot from No. 5 to No. 4 in NFL.com and USA Today's rankings.
