Welcome to the Week 5 grades!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are off this week and it might go down as the best bye week in NFL history because the AFC North is falling apart. The Baltimore Ravens, who were tabbed by most to be Super Bowl contenders this year, suddenly look like they might be contending for the No. 1 overall pick instead. With their 44-10 loss to the Houston Texans, the Ravens’ season might have just hit rock bottom. 

  • The Ravens are surrendering 35.4 points per game this year, which is 11th-most in NFL history through five games. 
  • The Ravens have surrendered at least 37 points in four of their first give games, which makes them the first team in 71 years to do that. 

Not surprisingly, the Ravens did NOT get a good grade this week. 

Let’s get to our Week 5 grades, starting with the game in Baltimore.
