The Baltimore Ravens might not have an opponent in the AFC wild-card round of the playoffs but that doesn’t mean they’ll be sitting back with their feet up either. While this is a week of rest for Baltimore, they’ll still be getting in a handful of practices in order to stay sharp, according to coach John Harbaugh.
With the Ravens getting one of three potential opponents in the divisional round, Harbaugh said the team will be working on fundamentals Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Harbaugh noted the coaching staff will be back in on Sunday to begin the prep for their eventual opponent.
Many fans and pundits showed concern with Baltimore resting several of their starters in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yet, those concerns appear unfounded with the Ravens beating the Steelers 28-10 to pick up their 14th win of the season. And with the team still practicing this week, it should assuage any fears that the players will come into next week’s playoff game rusty.
