Intent upon improving a record-setting attack and the play of NFL MVP Lamar Jackson, Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman is striving to overcome the obstacle of working from home and the inevitable adjustment of opposing defenses.

A year ago, Roman designed a run-oriented offense designed to take advantage of the versatile Jackson at quarterback. No one really knew what to expect when Baltimore opened the season at Miami.

"There were a lot of people who had questions about what this was going to look like - whether it would even work, whether it would fall flat on its face. That was real," Roman recalled Tuesday in a video conference with the Baltimore media. "A statement was made by these guys early on."
