When the Ravens' key players got injured last year, they were never seen again.
In 2016, for the most part, they are all coming back, and at the most opportune time of the year.
It is the one major difference between last year's 5-11 disappointment and this year's still-hopeful campaign.
Last season, the Ravens lost six of their first seven games, won three of their next four, then faded down the stretch with a shallow, depleted roster.
