Coming into the NFL playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC while also having the distinction of being arguably the best all-around team in the league, ahead of the NFC heavyweight San Francisco 49ers.
The Ravens are absolutely stacked on both sides of the football this season, which helped the team win 13 out of its 17 regular-season games, leading to the No. 1 seed and being considered the favorite to win the Super Bowl.
Along with superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson leading the way under center, who might have secured another NFL MVP award this year, the Ravens have one of the best offenses in the NFL, with Baltimore being a dominant force, especially through the air.
Baltimore is stacked at wide receiver with Odell Beckham Jr., Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor ready to go ahead of their second-round playoff matchup with the upstart Houston Texans, but they could be even better offensively ahead of kickoff on Saturday at M&T Stadium.
Star tight end Mark Andrews was recently activated by the team, and according to head coach John Harbaugh, he is getting better and better on the practice field and took a “big step” on Tuesday, via Ryan Mink.

Andrews played in 10 games during the regular season before going down with an injury that many anticipated would end his season, but the Ravens were pleasantly surprised that he might play against the Texans, giving Jackson another solid weapon in the passing game.
Before going down with an injury, Andrews caught 61 passes for 544 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
Andrews will be a valuable weapon at Jackson’s disposal if he’s given the green light against the Texans.
