Below you will find a Week 14 roundup for the Ravens in our consensus 2020 NFL Power Rankings.
The Athletic -- Rank: 7
Best-case scenario: They get hot, win out and make the playoffs. The Ravens broke a three-game losing streak with a win over the Cowboys Tuesday night. Next up is a Monday night matchup in Cleveland. The Ravens' run game looked great against Dallas, but their passing game is still a big question. If the season ended today, Baltimore would miss the playoffs, but they still have time to figure things out down the stretch and go on a run.
CBS Sports -- Rank: 14
They looked dominant in beating the Cowboys, but the Cowboys aren't very good. Now they have a huge game at Cleveland against the Browns.
USA Today -- Rank: 12
They're rebounding into playoff form ... but that might also be recent one-and-done playoff form.
ESPN -- Rank: 12
Person with most at stake: OLB Yannick Ngakoue
Ngakoue needs to start making impact plays again to warrant either a long-term extension or another franchise tag. Since being acquired in a trade from the Vikings, Ngakoue has disappeared, totaling five tackles and one sack in five games. He hasn't proved to be an every-down player, averaging 34 snaps per game. Ngakoue has been projected to be one of the top free agents in the NFL this offseason, but Baltimore will be faced with a difficult decision if he remains a nonfactor. -- Jamison Hensley

NFL.com -- Rank: 9
Uh-oh. Are the Ravens back? Lamar Jackson torched an opponent with his arm and legs, and Baltimore rushed for 294 yards in a performance that evoked memories of the team's dominant 14-2 run of 2019. Yes, the pathetic Cowboys defense has been making other teams look good all season, but this felt like an important game for a Ravens squad that needed a shot of optimism in what had been a six-week stretch of frustration. A huge prime-time showdown with Cleveland looms -- and you get the feeling the Browns will be forced to tangle with a hyper-confident Ravens team that's ready for takeoff.
