2024 was a down year for the Baltimore Ravens defense as a whole. While some contributors had career years, the unit could not stop a nosebleed for most of the campaign. One of the issues resided in the pass rush.
Although Kyle Van Noy and Odafe Oweh enjoyed career years with double-digit sack seasons, the front seven failed to provide consistent pressure. Much of that was due to a lack of push from the interior. Defensive disruptor Nnamdi Madubuike followed up his 13-sack season in 2023 with just 6.5 in 2024. However, while the numbers do not jump off the page, he still performed at a high level.
