Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale woke a sleeping giant before Sunday's matchup.
By giant, I mean Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. This all started with a comment made by Martindale when asked about how the Ravens will plan for Burrow and rookie wideout Ja'Marr Chase.
The Ravens played an unusual coverage against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 to try and shut down Green Bay's Pro Bowl wide receiver Davante Adams. Martindale was asked if he would use the same type of coverage for Burrow and Chase and his response proved to be bulletin board material for Burrow.
