OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- If the Baltimore Ravens want to make their way back to the playoffs, they need to clear bigger paths for Alex Collins and the rest of their running backs.
Through two games, the Ravens are averaging 3.3 yards per carry, which is the third-worst in the NFL; they're behind only New Orleans Saints (2.9) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2.7).
The efficiency of the run game has been a telling number under coach John Harbaugh.
