Under the surface of Lamar Jackson's dazzling destruction of the Rams' defense on Monday night was a staple of the Baltimore offense at work: motion at the snap.
It's a quantifiable edge in the game that no team exploits more often than the Ravens.
"What a good job they do of creating conflict right before the snap, changing your fits," Rams coach Sean McVay said in his post-game press conference after the 45-6 blowout, referring to Baltimore's pre-snap motion that altered defenders' run responsibilities.
This season, for the first time, ESPN Stats & Information is tracking pre-snap motion on every play in every NFL game and whether the player in motion came set at the snap or remained in motion.
