Early Super Bowl favorites for 2011: Ravens in the Mix!

According to ESPN's John Clayton, the Ravens are on his list of top 5 teams with Super Bowl potential next season: 

5. Baltimore Ravens -- I almost went with the San Diego Chargers because of Philip Rivers, but they have major holes to fill in their starting lineup. The Ravens have a complete roster. Quarterback Joe Flacco has won four road playoff games. Ray Rice offers big plays for the running game. The defense has some age, but it remains strong. General manager Ozzie Newsome upgraded the receiving corps last season with theAnquan Boldin trade. His next mission is adding a downfield threat. Defenses with three good man-to-man cornerbacks shut down the slower, older Ravens receivers this season and made it tough for Flacco to follow through on his progressions.
