1. Baltimore Ravens
“It’s sort of bonkers when you think about it: The Ravens and the 49ers play in the same league as the Jets and the Bengals.” – Me, talking to my television.
In what could’ve very well been a dress rehearsal for this year’s Super Bowl, the 49ers-Ravens game was pure enjoyment, one of the best matchups we’ve seen so far. Through the rain and cold, both teams hunkered down and relied on their strengths to stop the other—while hoping their weaknesses would find a little “supremacy” spark.
The Ravens’ offensive line—yes, them, again—proved why they are basically a no-brainer on this list, just waiting around for the other four teams to feel honored they are joining such blocking genius. Going up against that ferocious 49ers defensive front, the Ravens’ O-line was like a science-fiction character, a monstrous wall that had 10 legs and arms, moving with grace in the slop. I’ll save you the stats. Lamar was Lamar. Mark Ingram was there when Lamar needed a rest from being Lamar. And Justin Tucker was the opposite of a Chicago Bears kicker. Game. Set. Shine:
