Defuse The Explosives
The Ravens defense has nearly doubled their explosive pass rate allowed from last season, going from 10.5% in 2023 to 19.2% this year with a league-high 14 explosive passes allowed over the first two games. That was a key factor in Baltimore’s collapse against the Raiders, which saw Davante Adams and Brock Bowers catch two explosive passes each in the second half.
The Cowboys’ main explosive weapon is CeeDee Lamb, so the Ravens will need a specific gameplan to slow him down. To do that, they could turn to the advice of an old foe: Bill Belichick.
