Ravens happy to leave London with a victory, but they know there’s work to be done

LONDON — The Baltimore Ravens know plenty about the alternative. “It’s a great feeling,” Harbaugh said about the Ravens getting their first win abroad. The Ravens also left London knowing they’re going to have to figure out their maddening inconsistency and sudden inability to score touchdowns in the red zone if they’re going to make anything of this season. So to be able to capitalize and get points on almost every drive we’ve had is the key.” Still, the Ravens have to understand that they’re not going to be able to beat the better teams on their schedule, like the Detroit Lions, whom Baltimore hosts next week, by settling for Tucker field goals. pic.twitter.com/l4xpzHkJkj — Baltimore Ravens October 15, 2023 “We’re kind of looking in terms of what we are capable of becoming,” Harbaugh said.
