The Baltimore Ravens pride themselves on their defense. It has been the key to much of their success throughout their history. Units headed by the likes of Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, and Haloti Ngata dominated the league for over a decade, and now Roquan Smith, Marlon Humphrey, and Kyle Hamilton are leading the next great Ravens defense into battle. However, great was not the way to describe 2024’s group.
Last year, the Ravens' defense was the laughingstock of the league. Their secondary was among the worst, giving up the second-most passing yards in the NFL, and although the pass rush racked up 54 sacks (also the second-most in the NFL), they had their fair share of inconsistencies.
