The Ravens lost on the road, 34-14, to the San Diego Chargers on Sunday night. And now that they are back in second place in the AFC North -- they will remain there unless the Pittsburgh Steelers lose another game -- the consensus among a sampling of national writers is that the Ravens will meet a similar fate in the playoffs. - Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco appreciates the work of his offensive line, which has allowed him to be sacked just five times in the past five games.
- Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs recorded his third three-sack game of the season in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts. With 13 sacks in 13 games, Suggs has already passed his previous single-season high of 12, which was set back in 2003, his rookie year. Peter Boulware's franchise record is now just out of his grasp. Here's a quick look at the opposition as Suggs chases down the Ravens¿ single-season sack record.
- Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is focused on avoiding more fumbles.
- In Sunday night's 24-10 win over the Cleveland Browns, Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith once again flashed the natural ability that tantalized the team before the NFL draft. But the first-round pick also made a rookie mistake, getting crossed up in coverage as Browns quarterback Colt McCoy tossed a garbage-time touchdown.
- A group of four players has split time filling in for future Hall-of-famer Ray Lewis, who appears likely to return for Dec. 18 game vs. Chargers
- Ravens sack Colt McCoy three times but hound him play after play after play
- Jimmy Smith makes his first start, grabs second interception of the season
- Ravens do what they need to do by sticking to what they should do on offense
-
- Alongside Ed Reed, whom he calls "the best free safety to ever play this game," Ravens strong safety Bernard Pollard is living the dream. The tandem has made quite an impact in their first season playing together.

- Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Joe Thomas is preparing to shield his quarterback, Colt McCoy, from a Ravens defense that sacked San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith nine times in a 16-6 win on Thanksgiving night.
- Ravens: The Ravens will look to continue their trend of roughing up young quarterbacks Monday night. Against Jaguars rookie Blaine Gabbert, the defense aims to improve on its 6-0 record vs. first- or second-year starting QBs.

- We've reached the quarter pole of the NFL season, and it's probably fair to say we still don't quite know what to make of this Ravens team.
- In early August, when I released my monthly power rankings at the start of the preseason, some of you said it was too early to gauge how the NFL's 32 stack up against each other. Too early for power rankings? Psssh. A little premature speculation has never hurt anyone. After all, it's just that -- speculation and nothing tangible.
- Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco had a fine season in 2010, passing for 3,622 yards and 25 touchdowns. He led the Ravens to another playoff win, but he literally caved under pressure in the 31-24 loss to the Steelers in the divisional round. Flacco was sacked five times, lost a fumble and tossed an interception. We know the Steelers like to blitz, but did other teams take the same aggressive approach against Flacco?
