(8-2)
J U S T T H E FAC T S • Riding a six-game winning streak, the Baltimore Ravens (8-2) travel to battle the Los Angeles Rams (6-4) for a Monday Night Football showdown. Sitting atop the AFC North standings with a three-game lead over Pittsburgh, the Ravens are 8-2 for the third time (2006 & 2012) in franchise history. Baltimore’s six-game winning streak is the NFL’s longest active stretch. Los Angeles enters the contest fresh off a Sunday night, 17-7 home win over Chicago. • The Ravens rank No. 1 in points per game (34.1) and rushing (203.8 ypg). Baltimore’s attack stands No. 2 in total net yards per contest (428.6) and in third-down efficiency (49.1%). MVP candidate QB Lamar Jackson has accounted for 25 total TDs (19 passing & 6 rushing). • Baltimore leads the regular season series with the Rams, 4-2. Under head coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens are 2-0. • In last week’s 41-7 win over Houston, the Ravens racked up 491 yards of offense, including 263 on the ground. Baltimore was led by Jackson, who threw 4 TDs and produced a 139.2 rating. The secondyear standout added 86 rushing yards on 9 attempts, while RB Gus Edwards produced 112 on just 8 carries. Baltimore’s defense was superb, registering a season-high 7 sacks and 2 takeaways (1 FR & 1 INT), all while limiting the Texans’ attack to a season-low 232 yards. • Under Coach Harbaugh, Baltimore owns the NFL’s fifth-most total wins (122) since his 2008 Charm City arrival. The Ravens have appeared in three AFC title games (2008, 2011 & 2012) with “Harbs” at the helm, and in 2012, won Super Bowl XLVII.
C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S John Harbaugh on the Ravens’ Mindset Entering Week 12:
“We have a bunch of guys who keep it simple and keep it about football. As the stakes get bigger, your focus has to be narrower. We have to keep it nice and tight and locked in on what we have to get done one day at a time. I’m very confident these guys will do that. I know they understand it. They have a lot of faith. Faith is just a substance of things unseen. They believe in one another; I’m excited about that.”
I N J U RY U P DAT E Starters SS Tony Jefferson (knee, Week 5) and OLB Pernell McPhee (triceps, Week 7) are on IR, as is standout CB Tavon Young (neck, training camp). DT Michael Pierce (ankle) missed the Houston game.
NOTE THE QUOTE
The Ringer’s Danny Kelly
on
Baltimore’s Offense:
“With the combination of a dual-threat quarterback, a dynamic group of skill position playmakers, a strong offensive line, an analytically forward-thinking head coach in John Harbaugh and a creative offensive play-caller in Greg Roman, Baltimore has built a versatile offensive juggernaut. It’s half muscle car and half Ferrari; transitioning seamlessly between its powerful option-based run game and its explosive, high-flying aerial attack, the Jacksonled offense has carried the Ravens to [an 8-2] record―and made Baltimore a legitimate Super Bowl contender.”
