The Baltimore Ravens’ upset loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3 sure left a sour taste in the mouths of head coach John Harbaugh and his team. Harbaugh recognizes that there is no time for any team to reminisce too much on a loss during the regular season, and he hopes to see his squad quickly move on from the defeat because of just what lies ahead.

"We have an opportunity in the next two weeks," Harbaugh said during a press conference on Monday. "We're going on the road three weeks in a row. We have an opportunity to play two division teams on the road. We'll have our first five games [including] three of our division road games behind us.

"If you can get some wins in those three games, you are ahead of the count really well. So, that's what we're focused on right now."

The Ravens will square off with AFC North opponents in the next two weeks, as they will meet the Cleveland Browns and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore split the regular season series with both teams in the 2022 campaign. Overall, Baltimore finished with a 3-3 record in divisional play last season.

As Harbaugh touched on, the Ravens will also hit the road in Week 6, as they will face the Tennessee Titans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. For now, Harbaugh has his sights set on the Browns.

"We'll go out to Cleveland, and we'll throw everything we have out there," Harbaugh said.

"If we play our best football, we'll win the game. That will be our goal."

Baltimore currently sits in second place in the AFC North standings with a 2-1 record.
