Answer
Brief Explanations:
A run - on sentence incorrectly joins two or more independent clauses. The given sentence has a dependent clause "Despite some initial setbacks" and an independent clause "the Ravens improved their offense over the course of the football season and finished with a 5 - 3 record". It is a correctly structured complex sentence, not a run - on.
Answer:
no
