Late for Work 10/18: Ravens Reportedly Bringing in DeSean ... (BaltimoreRavens.com)

An NFL.com writer says the Ravens have been a disappointment but they're still legitimate contenders. Malik Harrison 'has been playing rock-solid football.'

He's had a couple [down] games, but most of the season he's played really well, and a guy like that continues to merit more playing time." In sorting the contenders and pretenders in the AFC, where 10 of the 16 teams have a record of 3-3 or better, he placed the Ravens in the "disappointments" category along with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos. The Ravens and Bengals are tied for first place in the AFC North, but Baltimore currently holds the tiebreaker by virtue of their head-to-head win in Week 5. Baltimore is 20th in the NFL in points allowed and 28th in passing defense," Chadiha wrote. "He played SAM, he played MIKE, and he played DIME — the DIME-backer — and did a really good job on all three areas. They've still got Lamar Jackson and an excellent coaching staff on their side, and they're in the underwhelming AFC North. "The Ravens were planning on their defense being improved after going through most of last year with an injury-riddled unit. Jackson and Jackson," the three-time Pro Bowler said on the "I Am Athlete" podcast. However, of those three teams, only the Ravens are legitimate contenders in Chadiha's opinion. He has played for five teams in the past six seasons. As Harbaugh said after reviewing the tape from Sunday's game, it's clear what the team is capable of achieving. In 16 games last year with the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams, Jackson had 20 receptions for 454 yards, two touchdowns and a career-high 22.7 yards per catch.
