In this story:

Tampa Bay wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Julio Jones (knee) were both listed as questionable, and if they cannot play, the Ravens would have a serious advantage.
The Buccaneers' running attack is ranked dead last in the NFL, averaging just 64.4 yards per game.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh expected the short week to impact the game
"You certainly don’t have as much time to dwell on a win or a loss," Harbaugh said. "It’s kind of … I guess it’s a hyped-up version of the way it works in the league anyway. Players and coaches can’t really afford to think too much about the last game. You try to learn from it, take your lessons to the next game, and you’re rolling. It’s a long season, and these games keep coming like waves; they don’t stop coming, so you have to get your footing, or you’re going to get knocked down by the next wave.
"So, that’s our job; we have to get ready to go. Guys have been good; I really appreciate [that]. They’ve been locked in, they’ve been focused, and they’ve had a great attitude. We had a heck of a practice today. So, it’s just a matter of transferring that to Thursday night.”
