Then a blowout loss in London six years in the past, the Baltimore Ravens are taking a far other path to England this year.

The Ravens headed in a foreign country Monday morning, which marks the earliest a crew has traveled for a world recreation this hour. The Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Expenses all left on Thursday for his or her London video games this season.

Baltimore determined to fly out six days ahead of its recreation towards the Tennessee Titans as a result of a forgettable revel in in 2017. Within the Ravens’ best global recreation in franchise historical past, the crew flew out on Thursday evening and were given routed by way of the Jaguars 44-7. The 37-point loss is the second-largest margin of defeat in an NFL global recreation.

“It’s mostly driven by the fact that we didn’t do well, so we did the opposite,” Ravens professor John Harbaugh mentioned when requested about escape early within the past. “There’s no data — and we looked for it — to say when you should go out there and what’s the ideal thing. I’ll say this kind of in jest, what’s the science on that? As often is the case, they really don’t know. That’s just the way it is.”

The Titans are aviation out Thursday next follow.

By way of spending all of the past in London, the Ravens will quickly journey their whole operations around the pool.

“The good thing about it is I personally don’t have to worry about any of that. I just expect it to be perfect,” Harbaugh mentioned with a grin. “They do a great job. You got the video, you got the medical, you got the equipment, you got all those things — you got the computer stuff. As coaches and players, all we really have to do is go out there and focus on preparing and getting ready for the game.”

It is a fast turnaround for the Ravens (3-2). Baltimore left for England about 12 hours next touchdown again from Pittsburgh, the place the Ravens fell to the Steelers 17-10 on Sunday.

However the Ravens are banking on being totally adjusted for Sunday’s recreation, which kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET.

“Hopefully, by the time the game comes around … We’ve slept there six nights. You’d like to think we’ll be pretty well ready to go,” Harbaugh mentioned. “I think that’s probably a big part of the decision to try and do it this way. Other teams go in there and say, ‘OK, we’re not going to mess with it. We’ll just stay on our own clock and play at 9:30 [British time] and we’ll get in and out. We don’t have to deal with it. It’s just kind of two schools of thought.”
