4 takeaways from the Ravens 45-6 win over the Rams

Here’s what we learned from the Baltimore Ravens’ latest big win over the Los Angeles Rams and just how good this team actually is.

The Baltimore Ravens have extended their winning streak to seven straight with a 45-6 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. The win secures the stranglehold the Ravens currently have over their division, as well as keeping them right behind the New England Patriots in the AFC playoff race.

But with the season ticking towards its end, it also taught us some things about the Ravens and just how good they are. Here are the four biggest takeaways from this win.

The Ravens have won seven straight games and of those seven, you would have to go back to their Week 6 win over the Cincinnati Bengals to find the last game that they won by only one score. Every game since then has been a multi-score victory.

Lest you think that Baltimore has been beating up on cellar-dwellers, four of those wins came against the Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots, Houston Texans and Rams — all playoff-caliber teams with proven quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, and Deshaun Watson.

The Ravens overcame some early bumps and have become one of the best teams in the league and forcing opponents to pick their poison, either burning them through the air or on the ground, or with a defense that has shown that it can score as well. Sometimes the Ravens burn teams with all three of those and that should terrify the teams remaining on their schedule, as well as whatever team they have to face in the postseason.
