The Baltimore Ravens came into Week 5 with several starters inactive due to injuries. The defense was largely expected to continue struggling, but many hoped the offense could maintain a steady pace even without quarterback Lamar Jackson. However, one half in, that has not been the case.
It is unfair to throw much blame on coaches in a game where seven key starters are out, but Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken was given the perfect chance to get the rushing attack back into a rhythm, but has failed to do so.
Running backs Derrick Henry and Keaton Mitchell combined for 15 yards on the ground through two quarters of play.
