The Baltimore Ravens have put together a 6-2 record over the first eight weeks of the 2023 NFL season, which has put them in a good spot in the standings so far. They are tied on top of the AFC Conference with the Kansas City Chiefs, Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins, setting up a key stretch run for the end of the season.
Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh was asked about his team’s place in the standings, and was extremely complimentary of his team. He talked about how it’s a long season, but mentioned that they will have to do it over the long haul.
“My mom always says, ‘Get the lead, keep the lead.’ We’re tied for the lead, I guess, but it’s a long season. As we always say, ‘Nobody’s crowned after eight games.’ There’s a lot of football to be played. The season is long for a reason, and it does weed out the best. If we want to be the best or considered the best, we’re going to have to do it over the long haul. [I’m] very confident in our guys. I think our guys have what it takes – character, toughness [and] resilience. I really love our guys. I’m proud of our guys. I think that they fight. They fight, and we have really good players who are really talented. We have really good coaches. [It’s] one week at a time. We have a very good team coming in – Seattle [Seahawks]. I think they won. They beat Cleveland [Browns]. We’re already thinking about that.”
