After running and throwing for TDs for the first time in weeks, the star quarterback might still be able to raise the ceiling for this team.

Even though his on-field production has declined, Mark Andrews is one of the foremost weapons for the Ravens eight seasons into his career. Combine that with his off-field impact, and an extension for the 30-year-old is a no-brainer.

As Diesha Contee prepares for her first Annapolis City Council meeting Monday, it’s a good moment to ask, what if? A campaign without a paid staff, with just $2,700 to spend on the primary, might never have known that primary results were counted in reverse.
