There’s certainly Pro Bowl-caliber talent, but what makes this defense great is its ensemble makeup. A prime example of that Sunday was Arthur Maulet, who registered an interception, a tackle, and the quarterback hit to force the fourth-quarter turnover on downs. He played all of seven defensive snaps.
Registering the strip-sack to torpedo the Chargers’ 19-play, eight-minute drive in the fourth quarter, Jadeveon Clowney has garnered high praise for his renaissance season, but defensive assistant Chuck Smith noted that Lamar Jackson is the only current Raven to face more scrutiny than Clowney for his career.
