Peter King of Sports Illustrated is out with his first power ranking of the season, and he likes what he sees from the Ravens, as he has him ranked 8th in the league. Here’s what he has to say about them:


8. Baltimore
Quick. Who is Greg Mattison? You’re a big fan, and you didn’t even recognize the name of the new Baltimore defensive coordinator. The big challenge for Mattison will be to get this group to respond to him the way it responded to Rex Ryan. But Ray Lewis and his men like smart guys, which everyone tells me Mattison and his defensive aides are. The one looming problem they have entering camp, now that Bart Scott has flown the coop, is making sure there’s no job action by Terrell Suggs, who has been franchised and is skipping mini-camp activities for now. Suggs has to be on board, and I suspect he will be, when the Chiefs come in for an opening friendly on Week 1 of the season.
