Ravens HC John Harbaugh shares thoughts on team’s brutal three-game stretch

The Baltimore Ravens will return from their bye week with a big Weeroadme against the New York Giants in Week 15. A break was a nice opportunity for Baltimore to reset, especially after a rough three-week stretch that saw them lose two games heartbreakingly.

The Ravens will now enter a grueling stretch of their schedule, which includes three games in eleven days. When asked about the stretch, head coach John Harbaugh echoed that the team is taking things one day and one game at a time.

“Really, the message is one day at a time and one game at a time, one play at a time, one series at a time; that is the final message. The process is the message. We’ve mapped it all out, like we talked about earlier in the week. We have a plan, as far as all the different practices and reps, loading and all that to be ready to be at our best, physically, in all three games, but that’s up to us, as coaches. The [message to the] players and really the coaches, in terms of the scheming and the teaching, is we have our biggest challenge Sunday, and we have to be at our best on Sunday, and then tomorrow will worry about itself.”

The Ravens are currently 8-5 and can’t afford to lose many more games if they want to earn a high seed in the NFL playoff race. After the Giants, Baltimore will play the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans. Those two teams will give the Ravens a run for their money, especially on short weeks.
