BALTIMORE —

This Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens return to the field after a bye week amid a disappointing 1-5 start to the season.

The injuries have piled up, and there have been challenges on both sides of the ball.

However, this isn’t about panic, but rather perspective.

Roll back to 2012: That Ravens team limped into January after losing four of its final five games, ending the regular season with a 10-6 record. That year, the defense looked older and the offense seemed uneven.

But plays like Ray Rice’s fourth-and-29 run in San Diego and the Joe Flacco-to-Jacoby Jones “Mile-High Miracle” in Denver rewrote that season, which ended in a Super Bowl XLVII victory in New Orleans.

These are reminders of what this franchise has been at its best, poised in chaos, ruthless in moments and together when it matters most.

Coach John Harbaugh’s teams don’t fold, they recalibrate. The margin may be gone, but the mission is not.

If the locker room can get healthier, the offense returns to form and the defense plays with the passion and execution of the 2000 Ravens, the conversation will change from, “What went wrong?” to “No one wants to see the Ravens in January.”

Talks of another parade are premature right now, but this city knows how quickly doubt can become a drumbeat. We saw it in 2012.

Stay with the Ravens Broadcast Team for every down as the rest of the season unfolds. Who knows? We could be witnessing another run to the Super Bowl; history is certainly on our side.
