OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Trading for pass-rusher Yannick Ngakoue transforms a stout Baltimore Ravens defense into one of the NFL's scariest.
No one would've criticized Baltimore for standing pat on defense before the trade deadline this year. The Ravens rank among the stingiest and pressure-inducing defenses in the league, allowing the fewest points per game (17.3) and ranking second in the NFL in sacks (22).
