Head Coach John Harbaugh stressed that it would be a matter of when, not if, the Ravens defense would start playing up to its potential.
Well, over the third quarter of the season, that has come more to fruition.
Over the past four games, the Ravens defense has allowed the second-fewest total yards per game (257) and the fewest passing yards per game (164) in the NFL.
As a measuring stick, the Denver Broncos, who have the league’s top defense this season, have allowed 285 total yards per game and 196 passing yards per game overall this season.
