There is no pretense to throwing the football deep on offense. You either get a massive amount of yards in one shot and perhaps even a touchdown or nothing.

The Ravens had four plays of at least 20 yards in their 27-23 loss after entering the game with just 11 in the first five games under Marc Trestman.

I was mainly fine with Sunday’s telecast of the Ravens’ 27 to 23 defeat by the New York Giants until the point where there was only 2:11 left in the game.

Already playing without five starters and two major contributors, three more starters sustained injuries and were unable to finish Sunday's game against the New

Ravens coach John Harbaugh knew that his move to replace offensive coordinator Marc Trestman with Marty Mornhinweg this past week wasn’t going to fix all of the

The focus will be on new offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg’s impact on a struggling passing attack in his first game as play caller for the Ravens.

After missing his second consecutive practice, Ravens outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil appears closer to sitting out Sunday’s game at the New York Giants.

[UPDATE] Seven Ravens players are missing from Wednesday morning's practice

In about a four hour span Sunday, the Denver Broncos went from offensive juggernaut to overmatched and overwhelmed against a swarming Seattle Seahawks defense that is among the best in recent memory.

Accustomed to picking late in the first round of the NFL draft during an impressive run of five consecutive postseason appearances, the Ravens will have a selection inside the first 20 picks of the draft for the first time since 2008.

In eager anticipation of the 2013 NFL season, Matt Vensel of The Baltimore Sun will take a daily look at one of the 13 opponents on the Baltimore Ravens' schedule. Today's team is the Denver Broncos.

Each Wednesday, blogger Matt Vensel will highlight five statistics that really mean something for the Ravens. This week, he looks at Jimmy Smith stepping in for Lardarius Webb, the dominance of Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and the team's chances of earning home-field advantage at season's end.

It's understandable why so much of the focus over the past 48 hours has been the loss of Ray Lewis. This is a living legend we are talking about, a linebacker whose bust should have been bronzed by now. But as far as the Baltimore Ravens' Super Bowl hopes go, the most significant strand of tissue shredded Sunday was not the right triceps of Lewis, but the anterior cruciate ligament in the left knee of cornerback Lardarius Webb.

It was an especially quiet day for the Ravens' passing game in general against the Kansas City Chiefs during a 9-6 victory at Arrowhead Stadium with no touchdowns passes and one interception for quarterback Joe Flacco.

Jeff Zrebiec delivers his scouting report for the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.

Every week, I hope to bring you a quick Q&A with someone who covers the Ravens' opponent that week. On Sunday, the Ravens travel to Philly to take on the 1-0 Eagles, so naturally I would chat with Sheil Kapadia, a former Baltimore Sun staffer who helped create the tremendous Birds 24/7 blog for Philadelphia Magazine.

A few hours ago, I sat down and watched a replay of Sunday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns for a new Ravens feature from my colleague, Aaron Wilson, and me that will debut in Wednesday's paper. I came away very impressed with the Philly defense, which played even faster than the Philly offense.
