The Ravens offense was been under scrutiny for much of the season, and since the 2016 campaign ended, most of the talk has focused on how to fix it moving forward. The lack of a run game, Joe Flacco‘s struggles and offensive coordinators that were too in love with passing all contributed to the team’s downfall in 2016. With Marty Mornhinweg back on board and Steve Smith Sr. retiring, Ravens fans are already nervous about next season’s offense.
Understandably so.
However, the defense can not and should not avoid shouldering their fair share of the blame after an up and down season under defensive coordinator Dean Pees.
