Shorthanded Defense Holds Up Their End

Print this article

On a day when the defense continually rescued flagging offense and special teams, one question reverberated on the broadcast, in the stands, on social media, and probably in most households where the game was watched.

Why not Joe Flacco?

I think there are 2 good reasons why the Ravens didn’t go to Joe even after Lamar Jackson threw for 11 net yards in the first half.

Joe has had his greatest difficulties throwing when the opponent is able to get consistent 4-man pressure and he faces 7 defenders in coverage.
