If the opponent was the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Baltimore Ravens would still be able to manage.
Harbaugh also had his own considerations, should they choose a running back? Or should they continue the tradition of the past two years and further strengthen the defensive group?
After ascending to the Super Bowl Champions in the 2012 season, Harbaugh had been working on filling the mess left by the retirement of Ray Lewis, rebuilding that traditionally strong defense team, and returning to a path of winning games through defense, while Flacco's offensive group had been patched up over three years.
In the past three seasons, with two eight-win, eight-loss records missing the playoffs, the 2014 season saw them make the playoffs but they lost to the New England Patriots in the second round.
So, should they start strengthening the offensive group now?
If the answer was positive, how much was Harbaugh willing to spend to acquire a running back?
