Baltimore Ravens: Five Keys to Victory vs. St. Louis Rams
By Joe Serpico
The Baltimore Ravens have seen it all this season. The officials cost them the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have dealt with injuries. They have had lapses in all three phases of the game.
Who cares? We know the rest of the teams in the NFL do not. That is why John Harbaugh is not going to let them be excuses and lay down the final seven games of the season. He still wants to win.
It seems as though the Ravens have a new goal each week. Leading up to last week, there was talk of winning out and sneaking into the playoffs. They didn’t win last week and they still think they can right the ship and do the unthinkable.
The idea of finishing the season with a .500 record is far-fetched, but Harbaugh is gonna do whatever he can to salvage this season somehow. He’s not going to listen to the fans that want the Ravens to lose for the sake of a better draft pick. That’s not how a professional operates.
For the Ravens to make this crazy run, it starts this Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. They are still in the running for a potential playoff spot in the NFC, but have their own struggles. If Baltimore wants a win this Sunday, here are the five keys to victory, starting with the Ravens taking advantage of the Rams’ backup quarterback.
