Ravens Should ‘Dare’ Russell Wilson To Beat Them Without Deep Balls, Says Analyst

To beat the Baltimore Ravens this week, the Pittsburgh Steelers might need to alter their offensive identity slightly. The Ravens’ run defense is fantastic, but their pass defense is their biggest weakness. Therefore, the Steelers might need to throw the ball more to win this game, leaning on Russell Wilson. Analyst Gregg Rosenthal believes the Ravens should invite the Steelers to do that, though.

“Mel Kiper tried to ban the two-high safeties,” Rosenthal said recently on his podcast, NFL Daily. “It didn’t happen. It’s still allowed, but nobody does it against Russell Wilson. If ever there was a team to just play back and let Russell Wilson dice you up, let’s see if he can do it, just throwing short over the middle.
