Last year’s league-leading offense applied a valuable lesson learned in the 2018 playoffs when the Chargers eliminated the Ravens by playing seven defensive backs on nearly every defensive snap of their Wild Card game. Baltimore countered in the offseason by prioritizing blockers on the offensive line and at tight end, and by signing Ingram, who made a Pro Bowl and averaged 5 yards per attempt last season.
So far this season, the Ravens offense has seen six or more defensive backs on 102 snaps compared to 76 snaps in all of last season.
