Ravens ​Clinch North Title,⁣ But Flowers Injury ​Casts Shadow

The Baltimore Ravens ⁣secured the American Association North Division ​title on Saturday‍ night ⁢with a decisive 35-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

While head coach John Harbaugh expressed optimism after the game,he acknowledged the need for a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to ‍determine the severity of Flowers’ injury. this ⁣news comes at a crucial time as the Ravens ⁣prepare for the⁢ playoffs.

Though, unlike their 2023 season where they secured the best record in the⁣ NFL, the Ravens will not receive a bye in the ⁢first round of the playoffs.

Ranked third​ in ​the American Association, the⁤ Ravens will face a tough opponent in the ​opening round next weekend. The urgency to have Flowers back⁣ on the field is palpable. The‍ dynamic receiver was instrumental in the Ravens’ success, racking up 74 receptions for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns during⁣ the regular season.the Ravens’ remarkable turnaround can be attributed to their ability to focus on one game‍ at a time,as emphasized⁣ by Coach Harbaugh.”ItS a week-to-week‍ league,” he ⁢stated, “and⁣ you just have to progress one ​week at a time, one day at ⁣a time, one game at a time. And our‌ guys did a great job of⁣ sticking to that.”
