The Baltimore Ravens are 1-0 in the Jesse Minter era, after going into Indianapolis, and making a statement with their 41-23 victory over the Colts. Minter's new look defense flew all over the field, Declan Doyle's offense was as good as it was advertised over the summer, and Lamar Jackson looked every bit the MVP candidate he's been in past seasons. All of these elements working together point to the Ravens being the true Super Bowl contenders they've been touted as, but some of that will be contingent on the health of players like Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane, and Marlon Humphrey, all of whom were banged up today. The guys dive into all of this and more, while taking some listener questions. Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll be back at you very soon!
