John Harbaugh Breaks Down Blocking Issues

Baltimore’s offensive line entered the year billed as perhaps the team’s top unit.

All five starters from last year’s dominant group returned, and the Ravens have some of their best depth at the position.

Sunday’s game in Denver, however, didn’t match the hype.

The Ravens never got the ground game going with any consistency. Joe Flacco took just two sacks, but was pressured on a whopping 64 percent (22 of 34) of his drop backs, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). That limited the ability to attack downfield and complete even short passes.

Baltimore’s offensive line almost collectively got low marks by PFF.
