The assumption is that newly signed Cleveland running back Kareem Hunt will most likely be suspended for at least the first four games of the season for a physical altercation with a woman last February in a Cleveland hotel.

After a 22-10 win Saturday over the Los Angeles Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss Sunday to the New Orleans Saints, the Ravens (9-6) could win the AFC North and earn the No. 4 seed even without a win in Week 17 over the Cleveland Browns.

For years, the Ravens haven't been able to get a consistent pass rush, especially in big games against quality opponents. They did Saturday night against the Chargers.

The Ravens have fallen just short of beating the NFL's top teams in recent seasons. Now, they have to do it against the Los Angeles Chargers or face a gloomy end to the current era of the franchise.
