Baltimore Ravens WR 'Getting Back to My Old Self' as the Season Goes On

The Baltimore Ravens offense is starting to click over the last two games and tight end Mark Andrews says the team is finally starting to become the team they want to be.

The Baltimore Ravens have clicked into gear over the last two games as John Harbaugh's team currently has a 6-2 record and sits atop the AFC North.

Todd Monken's offense is starting to find its groove. The Ravens have scored 69 points in the last two games while producing 771 yards of total offense. Defensively, Baltimore ranks first in points allowed per game (15.1), 15th in takeaways (11), and has the NFL's leading interception leader in Geno Stone (5). Oh, and it leads the NFL in sacks as well (31).

For tight end Mark Andrews, the Ravens are finally starting to become the team they know they can be.

“I think you know these last couple games in the last three games I think just as a team we've kind of you know flipped the script and are starting to become who we want to be,” Andrews said on The Lounge. “That's a resilient tough, efficient football team that's able to win games no matter what.”

With so many weapons available to Lamar Jackson, opposing defenses have their hands full with the likes of Andrews, Zay Flowers, and Odell Beckham Jr., but one player who perhaps has gone under the radar is Rashod Bateman.

After dealing with a foot injury throughout training camp, Bateman has been a slow burn - until now.

In his last two games, Bateman has a combined four catches for 70 yards while also having 18 rushing yards on a jet sweep against the Arizona Cardinals, and while those numbers don't jump off the screen (although he averaged 17 yards a touch vs. Arizona), it shows that Bateman is finally getting his feet underneath him and is another weapon to add to Baltimore's arsenal.

And Bateman is simply just happy to be taking advantage of his opportunities.

"It feels good. I feel I'm getting back to my old self, maybe even better than I was before," Bateman said. "I feel like we're heading the right direction. I haven't lost confidence in myself. Just taking advantage of all the opportunities that I get."

Sitting at 6-2 with a clash with the 5-2 Seattle Seahawks, the Ravens get another test of their playoff credentials, and with the offense starting to find life and the defense simply suffocating teams, the skies the limit for Baltimore.

And if Bateman can continue to produce when opportunities come his way, and take advantage of them, then the Ravens won't just be the team "they" want to be, they'll be the team that no one wants to face come playoff time.
