On Thursday night, the Baltimore Ravens offense failed to counter the Miami Dolphins’ pressure looks time and time again. The Dolphins stacked six, seven and eight defenders at the line of scrimmage all game, doing something no defense has done in recent history.
Not sure I've ever seen anything like it in the NFL.
MIA showed cover 0, presnap, 40 times vs BAL. Forty! pic.twitter.com/pPMZfZRAzu— Josh Cohen (@JCohen_NFL) November 12, 2021No doubt, Miami's use of its defensive backs defined this game:
- 24 DB blitzes (most any QB has faced since '15)
- 2+ DBs blitzing 12 times (most since '10)
- 3+ DBs blitzing 5 times (most in last 15 seasons)
- DB blitz on 11/13 3rd down dropbacks (BAL gained 19 yds & one 1D) https://t.
