Ravens exit win over Broncos with concerns, but they’re focusing on the positives

BALTIMORE — None of the Baltimore Ravens were thinking about the big picture, about what another loss could mean to a season that held such promise, about what being held out of the end zone all afternoon by the Denver Broncos said about their offense, about the prospects of playing the next several weeks without their starting quarterback. When Huntley powered his way into the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown run and Justin Tucker converted the extra point, everything that preceded the touchdown — Jackson’s knee injury, the failure to mount a quality run game all afternoon, one of the most head-scratching Greg Roman play calls you’ll ever see — mattered just a little bit less. Now we’re going to get to work after we get healed up a little bit, and we’ll get to work on our next opponent, which is the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh.” The Ravens have suffered enough late losses this season that it would be foolish to chide Harbaugh or his players for celebrating a game they found a way to win, regardless of the opponent. “Honestly, I thought it was going in.” The victory was the team’s first when scoring 10 points or less since Baltimore beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 9-6, on Oct. 7, 2012. “Shoot, we’ve got to get this first down,” Huntley said of his thought process.
