Despite consistent overreactions from a fan-base that can’t stand losing, the 2018 Baltimore Ravens defense has been pretty damn solid. Across the field, there are numerous players who are either having career years or are continuing their stellar play they’ve presented throughout their careers. You’d be hard-pressed to find weaknesses on this defense, it would simply be nitpicking.
Ravens defensive rankings through 5 games:
Overall — 3rd
Rushing — 5th
Passing — 4thOthers of note:
Yards per play: 1st
3rd-down defense: 1st
Scoring defense: 1st
Red-zone defense: 9th— Bo Smolka (@bsmolka) October 9, 2018
All of this despite the fact that this defense laid an egg against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football back in week two.
