Similar to the Chiefs, they somehow improved in the offseason.

The weakness for the Ravens is that they're dependent on the script. They're built to pound out a lead. If that doesn't happen, they have to change everything and it doesn't work that well against good teams when you have an offense that's essentially designed around a gimmick (I don't want to diminish Lamar's skills too much but I can't think of a better word).
They're a really good team but they depend on everything going the way they want. They're used to imposing their will and if that doesn't work, things get shifty.
It's only week 1 anyway. Last season started this way too. We all know the Chiefs are a better team. I just wish I could watch sports coverage without having to hear about Lamar Jackson (or Cam Newton) the entire time.
