With no Zay Flowers at wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers entered Saturday night’s Wild Card matchup on the road knowing they needed to stack the box and smash the run for the Ravens.
They knew that was the path to success, and yet they had no answer for the Ravens’ rushing attack all night long.
Future Hall of Fame running back Derrick Henry did whatever he wanted in the matchup, as did likely NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. The Steelers seemingly put a huge emphasis on stopping Henry on the read-options, which gave Jackson plenty of space to operate.
