Titans strong pass defense will force Ravens to lean on running game

If there has been any Achilles heal for the Baltimore Ravens in 2018, it’s been their inability to effectively and consistently run the football. Currently, Baltimore sits at just 25th in terms of rushing yards per game at 94.4-yards. The Ravens leading rusher through five games is Alex Collins with a whopping 217 rushing yards and a 3.8 YPC average. Among eligible runners (ten-or-more carries), only one Raven has above 4.0 YPC, Lamar Jackson. In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock, Jackson isn’t even a running back, he’s a quarterback. That’s not exactly ideal for your offense.
