BALTIMORE — The Ravens held steady in the various NFL Week 11 Power Rankings following their bye. 

Here's the Roundup

Sports Illustrated

Analysis: "The Ravens cruise into their bye week fourth in points scored, fifth in passing touchdowns, and second in rushing yards. One could make a fair argument that they have the deepest roster in all of football. When Jason Pierre-Paul is just a “whenever” rotational pass rusher, life is pretty good."

Analysis: "Queen has found his niche playing alongside newly acquired Roquan Smith, producing the best season of his three-year career as a weakside linebacker. He leads the Ravens with 58 tackles and has recorded 3.5 sacks. "He's becoming one of the dominant linebackers," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "You kind of see him growing up right before our eyes." But Queen's future is uncertain in Baltimore. The Ravens' priority will be signing Smith to a long-term extension, which decreases the chances of Baltimore picking up Queen's fifth-year option this offseason."

Analysis: "The Ravens have hit their stride by locking into a familiar identity: running the ball down your throat. Lamar Jackson -- as always — remains the centerpiece of everything Baltimore does on offense, with a league-leading average of 7.4 yards per attempt on a team-leading 86 carries. Gus Edwards, Kenyan Drake and Justice Hill have all stepped up when called upon. Much of the ground-game success can be traced back to a thriving offensive line that keeps getting better. Rookie center Tyler Linderbaum was yet another draft hit by the organization, while Ronnie Stanley's return to health has brought stability to the blind side. This will not be a fun team to play as the weather turns cold."

Analysis: "The Ravens have led by double digits in every game this season. No one wants to see Lamar Jackson come playoff time."

Analysis: "With at least 150 rushing yards this Sunday against Carolina, Baltimore will match the 1985 Bears – yes, Walter Payton's champs – for the longest string of 150-yard ground outputs in the last 38 seasons."

Analysis: "They come off their bye in first place in the division with a soft schedule coming up. It's their time to surge."
