Offense
Run First
Through three games in 2019, the Ravens have run the ball 62 times on first down plays. For reference, that’s the second highest number in the NFL. The team is also averaging a league high five yards per carry on first down runs. Greg Roman’s offense is simply at its best when it’s using a solid power running game to set up the pass.
Down early against the Chiefs though, the Ravens lost their way. Lamar Jackson was forced to try to take over the game with his arm and his accuracy took a significant hit.
