The Baltimore Ravens’ three straight AFC losses have hurt them in a lot of ways, and all three were to teams currently ahead of them in the AFC playoff picture. Now last in the AFC North at 4-4 and starting down the barrel of a long-term Lamar Jackson injury, the Ravens need to pull it together to stay in the playoff chase.
Losing to the Buffalo Bills isn’t the worth thing that could happen, but with the stacked AFC, it’s going to be tough. A team is two games over .500 and still on the outside looking
in.
