Battle Plans: Ravens versus Steelers
Defense
1. Re-Setting the Edge: Last week’s performance against the Eagles and Ryan Mathews came at about as bad of a time as you can imagine. Philadelphia exposed a weak point of the Ravens’ run defense (off tackle) that laid dormant for most of the season, but it came unhinged, as the Eagles got to the perimeter consistently. The OLBs struggled to set the edge, and the ILBs (Zach Orr especially) had a hard time getting off of blocks to chase from sideline-to-sideline.
