BALTIMORE — Rewatching every game from the Ravens’ 2022 season made clear one incontrovertible fact: They were remarkably consistent.
Five times the Ravens blew leads and lost, including three occasions when they were up by double digits in the second half, against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills and New York Giants. The offense again started the year strong but sputtered late, and quarterback Lamar Jackson ended the season watching from the sideline for the second year in a row. The defense was unsurprisingly one of the best in the NFL, led by All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith and first-year coordinator Mike Macdonald, but Baltimore failed to win a playoff game for the fourth time in its past six trips to the postseason.
What does it all mean for 2023?
