Baltimore Ravens. 13. team. 26. Who would have thought that the defensive-minded Ravens would have allowed division rival Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers to overcome a 20-10 deficit courtesy of three fourth-quarter touchdown drives? But that’s exactly what happened to John Harbaugh’s team on Christmas night at Heinz Field as Baltimore defenders both bent and broke in the final 15 minutes. All told, Pittsburgh’s scoring marches covered 75, 90 and 75 yards. And Antonio Brown’s game-winning touchdown came with only nine seconds remaining. Since winning Super Bowl XLVII in 2012, the Ravens have now missed the playoffs in three of the last four seasons. <p>Offseason Plans: One of the most consistent organizations in the NFL has begun to show a few cracks in its foundation. That doesn’t mean Harbaugh won’t be around for a 10th season in Baltimore. But the one problem that team has encountered in recent years is the constant change at offensive coordinator. It would help to have a little stability there.</p> <p>Draft talk: The Ravens have their share of young and talented players. But they also have some aging veterans that may be on their last legs. General manager Ozzie Newsome is one of the best in the business and will be looking to upgrade every position, as was the case in this past April’s draft.</p>. 8-7. Previous:
