The Ravens have been bulldozing teams and it hasn’t even been close in any game, until today. The shaky start today might be amplified if a team can cash in TDs. Putting the Ravens in a huge hole early is critical.
20 days off, then you get to play a team that can’t run and can’t stop your run. Thats a cream puff route. Expect next week’s game to be much more challenging for Baltimore.
The Ravens beat the Texans earlier this year 25-9. Today 34-10. Clearly the Ravens are healthier and have kept their distance. The biggest difference between the two games, the Ravens running game has gotten better, and the run defense was dominant.
The Ravens want to be a passing team, but at their core they are a run heavy team that plays 12 personnel and 13 personnel with a 305lbs FB. To beat the Ravens you need to dictate they aren’t going to run the ball on you. To that end you gotta run 3 DTs and crowd the LOS.
