About The Baltimore Ravens

Running back Ray Rice is a dual threat, running for 1,364 yards and gaining 704 yards on 76 receptions. Total, he has 15 touchdowns. Rice is Flacco’s favorite target. Flacco is not a game changer, which is probably why Rice is the leading receiver. He also uses Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith. These two are receivers with big play potential. Flacco is a game manager, as his 80.9 QB Rating suggests. He averages 212.9 yards a game with 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. If the Ravens defense is unable to keep the scoring down then Flacco will be required to do a bit of magic.

The Baltimore Ravens have always been more about the defense though. Linebacker Ray Lewis remains the leader of this top tier unit despite being 36 years old. He has never been much of a sack artist, since he has been far too busy following the ball carrier or protecting the middle of the field. Really the linebacker unit of Lewis, Jarret Johnson, Jameel McClain, and Terrell Suggs is the heart and soul of the defense. Still, cornerback Lardarius Webb has stood out all season long. Webb and fellow corner Cary Williams will be put to the test with this field of pass-heavy playoff teams.

The Ravens have already defeated the Houston Texans 20-13 in the Divisional Round and have advanced to the AFC Championship game, a place few thought this football team would be playing. They need the defense to stop the short game, both runs up the middle and quick passes to the outside. They also need this defense front seven to consistently get to Tom Brady. The Patriots are unbeatable when he finds his rhythm, especially now that Bill Belichick has found his answer to the team’s need for a second receiver in the form of two tight ends, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
