C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S John Harbaugh on Baltimore’s Mindset Entering Week 14 at Buffalo:
(9-3)
J U S T T H E FAC T S • Riding an eight-game winning streak, the Baltimore Ravens (10-2) travel to battle the surging Buffalo Bills (9-3), who have won threestraight games. Sitting atop the AFC North standings with a threegame lead over Pittsburgh, the Ravens are 10-2 for the first time in franchise history. Baltimore’s eight-game winning streak is the NFL’s longest active stretch and the longest in regular single-season franchise history. The Ravens currently own the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed, holding the head-to-head tiebreaker over 10-2 New England. • The Ravens rank No. 1 in points (33.8) and rushing yards (207.8) per game, while they’re No. 2 in total yards per game (420.8). Baltimore is on pace to become the first team in NFL history to average 200 passing and 200 rushing yards per game in a season. MVP candidate QB Lamar Jackson has accounted for an NFL-high 32 total TDs (25 passing & 7 rushing), while, with four games remaining, Baltimore has already set a single-season franchise record by scoring 49 total TDs. • Baltimore leads the regular season series with the Bills, 5-3. Under head coach John Harbaugh, the Ravens are 3-1. • In last Sunday’s 20-17 victory over San Francisco, K Justin Tucker nailed a game-winning 49-yard FG as time expired. Baltimore rushed for 178 yards, including 101 by Jackson, who became the first QB in NFL history to rush for 100 yards in four games of a season. Jackson threw for 1 TD (TE Mark Andrews) and rushed for another, adding 105 passing yards (14-of-23) in the rain-soaked, windy affair. Andrews’ TD was his seventh of 2019, tying a single-season franchise record by a tight end: Dennis Pitta (2012) and Todd Heap (2005).
“This next game doesn’t mean anything for the game after that or the game after that or the game after that. All it means is everything for this week, and you need to put one [check] in the left side of the column. That’s it. That’s what it’s about. That’s all it’s about. All the other stuff is just noise; it’s just a distraction. [The long-term future is] not what we’re interested in. We’re not even going to talk about that stuff, because it doesn’t matter to us [right now].”
I N J U RY U P DAT E The following starters are on Injured Reserve: C Matt Skura (knee, Week 12), OLB Pernell McPhee (triceps, Week 7) and SS Tony Jefferson (knee, Week 5). Standout CB Tavon Young (neck, training camp) is also on Injured Reserve.
NOTE THE QUOTE
RB Mark Ingram II
on the 2019 Ravens: “I feel like this is the best team I’ve ever been on. The 2011 Saints was a great team; the last couple of years [in New Orleans] were great teams, but there’s just something special about this group of guys. We believe in each other. We fight hard for each other. And no matter how ugly or pretty it is, we’re going to keep fighting. We’re going to try to do whatever we can to win for each other.”
