It was only three years ago when the Ravens beat the San Francisco 49ers, 34-31, to capture Super Bowl XLVII. So much has changed since.

Technically, long-time Ravens backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor will play in a Pro Bowl before his former teammate Joe Flacco. But remember, Flacco was asked to go to last year's Pro Bowl and turned down the invitation.

The Carolina Panthers dismantled the Arizona Cardinals so completely it's hard to imagine Peyton Manning getting his second ring.

There were no ultimatums or idle threats. If I didn't know better, I'd think the Ravens were headed off to a wild-card playoff game instead of spending the day putting out such positive spin. I wouldn't make many major changes either, not with a general manager and coach who have been to the playoffs in six of the past eight years.
