OK, so a massive 47-point beatdown of the Bills should mean the Ravens climb a bit higher in our NFL power rankings, right?

After all, that’s the kind of score you’d expect from a Division 1 NCAA team against Upper Middle Arkansas State Technical University.

The game might as well have been such, as quarterback Joe Flacco looked like his 2012 self, and the Ravens defense suffocated Buffalo in every aspect of the game. Fumbling was a bit of a problem for Baltimore, so look for head coach John Harbaugh to want to clean that up after getting this seemingly easy win out of the way early.

Despite the one-sided victory, let’s see if the Ravens can replicate this kind of effort against one of the league’s better teams before suddenly considering them true contenders in the NFC North.

They did have to face quarterbacks Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen, after all.
