Early in the season pass rush was a real concern for the Baltimore Ravens and Matt Judon didn’t seem to be the difference maker they needed him to be. Heading into week 14 Judon has tallied 8.5 sacks. He has forced a fumble in three of the past four weeks and he is leading the charge at the outside linebacker position.
While the Ravens did have a right to be tentative about investing in Judon, there should be no doubt that they have to pay him this offseason. Judon has proven himself. When the Ravens lost Pernell McPhee due to injury, many analysts thought the Ravens had to make a move to get an outside linebacker.
