The Baltimore Ravens have excelled this season, more often than not.
There should be no shame in losing just three games by Week 11, and most teams would love to be in their position.
However, they have blown leads late in the game in all three of those losses and that should be a big concern going forward.
Despite that, NFL analyst Craig Carton believes that they should still be considered the best team in the AFC, adding that they should even beat the Cincinnati Bengals in tonight’s rematch from earlier in the season.
“The Baltimore Ravens still remain the most complete team in the AFC.”

Carton did acknowledge that fourth-quarter defense with the lead has been an issue dating back to last season, as they can’t seem to finish the job.
Then again, he thinks that they have no competition in the league when it comes to putting up points on the scoreboard, which is what gives them a big edge over everybody else.
Tonight’s matchup vs. the Bengals should be one for the ages, and a game that could go down to the wire and be decided on the very last play.
The Bengals did manage to make it a three-point game earlier in the season, and that was despite Joe Burrow playing hurt.
And with both teams craving a bounce-back win after a tough loss on Sunday, we can expect them to be highly motivated for this divisional clash, which could also be an AFC Championship Game preview.
