Ravens Are a Consensus Top-10 Team, Week 17

The Ravens are trending up in the power rankings.

Coming off a 17-9 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore is ranked in the top 10 in all eight sets of power rankings we monitor and is as high as No. 8.

Thanks to a strong running game and dominant defense, the playoff-bound Ravens (10-5) have won three of four with Lamar Jackson (knee) sidelined.

“The Ravens have won games with point totals of 10, 17, 13 and 16 since Nov. 20. You can call that lucky, or you can call it a well-built football team that does the little things well,” Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr wrote. “If Lamar Jackson comes back somewhere near full speed, watch out.”
