The Baltimore Ravens are heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl after the Tennessee Titans took down the New England Patriots. The script was supposed to see the Ravens dominate and ease into the AFC championship.
However, they find themselves in the back foot as the Titans caught them off-guard the same way they did to the New England Patriots last week. At halftime, the Ravens have been contained to two field goals while Ryan Tannehill and Co. have exploded to two touchdowns.
The Ravens drilled a field goal. However, they were once down by 14 points — alarming, considering Baltimore has never come back from a double-digit deficit in the postseason, as noted by Jamison Hensley of ESPN.
The Ravens' struggles to come back in the playoffs is surprisingly uncharacteristic for a team that is as well-run as they are. John Harbaugh and Co. have built a squad that regularly find themselves in the postseason.

Everything will fall into the hands of Lamar Jackson. He's the fantastic quarterback who can run as well as pass. He should be able to cut the Tennessee defense wide open and run his way to the lead.
However, they will have to make significant adjustments during the half-time break. The Titans have put clamps on their offense, and Jackson is finding it hard to complete passes. Jackson went 12-of-22 passing for 169 yards and zero touchdowns and an interception in the first half.
The Ravens need to make the changes quickly if they want to edge closer to booking their tickets to Miami.
