The Ravens defense “stomped” Josh Allen while the offense “punched money to pieces.”

After their loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2, teams began to dismiss the Ravens as a contender. But after beating the Bills, Ruiz once again calls the Ravens a Super Bowl contender.

“Be that as it may, the Ravens team we saw lose to Las Vegas a few weeks ago was not the team that throttled the red-hot Bills on 'Sunday Night Football,'” Ruiz wrote. “The Baltimore we saw in its 35-10 win over Buffalo in Week 4 looked more like the team many see as the biggest threat to Kansas City’s dominance of the AFC.”

It was an uphill climb for the Ravens to compete against the top teams in the AFC. The Chiefs and Bills are among the most notable. The addition of Henry, who was a threat to both opponents, was expected to tip the scales in their favor. That bias became the anchor as Henry crushed the Bills.

“Jackson has never performed particularly well against this Bills defense, which has focused on neutralizing him as a runner in recent games,” Ruiz wrote. “But with Henry, a Bills' bugbear throughout his career, standing next to Jackson in the Ravens' backfield, that was difficult.”

Ruiz isn't the only one who sees the Ravens as contenders. Walker too.

“Here, finally, was the team that beat the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas night and embarrassed the star-studded Miami Dolphins a week later,” Walker wrote. “The details were of course not identical. That blur of muscle and motion wearing No. 22 wasn't in the team photo last season. But on Sunday night in Baltimore, taking on the AFC's best team to date, the Ravens could win a bowl.

Ruiz even went so far as to say that the Ravens could secure back-to-back division championships by the end of November.

“After an 0-2 start that has been a death sentence for NFL teams in the past, the Ravens are now 2-2 and just one game back in the AFC North, with only the Steelers ahead of them in the standings.” Ruiz wrote. “With four of the next seven against division opponents, including two monster games against the Bengals, this team could run away with the division (both literally and figuratively) by Thanksgiving.”
