It truly is a testament to John Harbaugh and his fine Baltimore Ravens team that I can’t stop writing about them in this weekly series. The Ravens are playing some of the most exciting offensive football I’ve seen, with a scheme built around the unique talents of their MVP contender, Lamar Jackson. The Ravens keep crushing teams and collecting accolades, including becoming the first team to win a triple-crown of sorts. Gameweek 12 is in the books - it’s time for The British Playbook Awards.

Team of the Week: Baltimore Ravens

They dismantled the Super Bowl runner-up on live, prime time television. On Monday Night Football, the Ravens dominated the LA Rams in every phase of the game to win 45-6. This massacre happened in Los Angeles. These poor Rams players have families. They didn’t need to be embarassed that badly in their own city. Look, John Harbaugh has built a magnificent team that plays to the strengths of Lamar Jackson. He is rarely going to throw the ball 25+ times. It just won’t happen, but the run-option is dynamic and outrageously effective when paired with the ground-and-pound style rushing attack of Mark Ingram (who is also a weapon in the passing game). The Ravens defense is spectacular, too. The secondary is up there with New England (there, I said it), with both Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith playing great ball right now. I haven’t even mentioned Earl Thomas and Marlon Humphrey. Unreal. I’m not forgetting special teams either - Justin Tucker is the best kicker in the NFL. This is a very, very good team and I fully admit that I grossly underestimated them before the season. Harbaugh, along with Kyle Shanahan of the 49ers, are my front-runners for the NFL Coach of the Year award.
