The Baltimore Ravens' defense is enjoying a shocking surge over the past month. The unit was once viewed as a historically bad group, letting up 37 or more points in four of their first five games. Now, they have locked down opposing offenses in an encouraging stretch that has seen them hold each of their last five opponents to under 20 points.
There is no doubt that the acquisition of safety Alohi Gilman and the usage of versatile chess piece Kyle Hamilton closer to the line of scrimmage has been the main catalyst for this run.
