After several postponements, the Ravens will finally travel to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers on Wednesday. Baltimore will be without several starters due to COVID-19, including QB Lamar Jackson. The Ravens have a giant mountain to climb in order to hand their divisional rival their first loss of the season, but it is certainly possible.
Here are five keys for that to happen.
1) Disrupt quick passes
Similar to their last meeting, Pittsburgh will likely look to attack Baltimore’s defense with quick passes. The Ravens will be without several key players up front, including DE Calais Campbell, DT Brandon Williams, and OLBs Matthew Judon and Pernell McPhee, meaning it will be even harder to generate pressure without blitzing.
