Ravens not a lock for the AFC North crown just yet

Found December 07, 2012 on Bloguin Best:
PLAYERS: Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers,  Baltimore Ravens,  Washington Redskins
At 9-3, the Ravens are the only AFC division leader not currently guaranteed a playoff birth, and looking at their schedule, it's conceivable that they could still be overtaken by the Pittsburgh Steelers as the AFC North's top team. In case you're now scratching your head, hear me out. The Ravens have a remarkably tough road ahead to round out the 2012 regular season.

Time to break out more superlatives. Robert Griffin III is about to play another game. ''He's unbelievable. He's back there, he makes more plays than anyone you've been around. He changes the game.'' Ah, but there's a catch. While it certainly sounds like a defensive player getting ready to face RG3, it's actually Washington Redskins offensive...

Via The Daily Traub  |  December 07, 2012
Ed Reed’s comments this past weekend after the Baltimore Ravens loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers brought to light a pretty interesting idea, the NFL cares more about offensive players than defensive players.
