Baltimore Ravens. 27. team. 26. . 3-4.

Well, at least Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco didn’t throw an interception. That’s a plus, right?

The Ravens are still terrible, and even moderate quarterbacking can turn this team’s fortunes around. Falling 24-16 to the Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore’s biggest problem came on defense, namely stopping Minnesota running back Latavius Murray from having a big game.

Baltimore doesn’t have a running game, and the team’s leading rusher, Alex Collins, had just 30 yards on 10 carries.

Oh, and there weren’t exactly notable contributions through the air either, aside from a seemingly meaningless Chris Moore touchdown.

It’s going to be a long season, Ravens fans.
