Defenders on the field too long

What do these players have in common? All are listed in the top five for their respective positions for total snaps played. The Ravens are losing players to injury, and no more rotation can be found for the starters. A correlation or causation for lack of success down the stretch for Baltimore?

Safeties:

Will Hill has taken 383 snaps in 5 weeks. Not far behind is Kendrick Lewis at 368. These safeties cannot be taking 70 snaps at 100% speed. And they shouldn't be expected to. Lack of depth and rotation forcing extra reps can strain these players.
