By the Numbers
  • Zay Flowers set franchise rookie records with 77 receptions and 858 receiving yards.
  • Bateman, when healthy, has shown promise on the field.
Yes, But

Counterargument suggests Ravens already possess possession receivers in tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

State of Play
  • Ravens face the second-toughest schedule but have the largest net rest edge in 35 years.
  • Robert Griffin III believes the schedule favors Ravens, providing a significant rest advantage.
What's Next

Upcoming games will test Ravens' readiness to challenge the Chiefs and make a run for the Super Bowl.

Bottom Line

Ravens' success hinges on Flowers and Bateman elevating their performance, amidst a challenging schedule, and leveraging rest advantage for a potential Super Bowl bid.
