It’s been a while since the Baltimore Ravens have had much of an offense to write home about, probably since before Ray Rice punched his way out of the NFL. But inklings of potential bubbled to the surface in the second half of last season as a rushing identity with Lamar Jackson under center.
The rookie quarterback out of Louisiana set a new NFL record for the most rushing attempts in a single season by a quarterback in spite of the fact that he only started seven games. His impact on defenses as a rushing threat really opened up the running game as the team would go on to average over 200 yards on the ground per game over the course of his starts en route to a 6-1 record.
