Biggest problem holding Ravens' offense back is crystal clear after Week 13 loss

Despite a five-game win streak, the typically elite Baltimore Ravens offense never looked quite right. Now, after an embarrassing 32-14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving Day, where the Ravens committed five turnovers, panic is understandably at an all-time high. Last season, the Ravens averaged 424.9 yards per game, which was first in the league; now that number is down to 317.3 yards per game, which ranks 21st in the league.

While there are several factors at play, the biggest to me has been Derrick Henry's low usage. Yes, the 31-year-old hasn't been as dominant as he was in his first season with Baltimore.
