The Ravens entered the postseason in a curious position. Over the back half of the season, their offense rediscovered its identity. The Lamar Jackson-led run game revived itself as the offense began leaning again on more counter-read and power concepts, while the passing game went on the uptick with some better wide receiver play. Baltimore's defense suffered the inverse, however, and had started to look like they may not be equipped to handle the NFL's best offenses in January.
At least against the Titans on Sunday, that was not the case. 2,000-yard rusher Derrick Henry was contained to a measly 40 yards on 18 carries and quarterback Ryan Tannehill largely failed to find any of the explosive plays for which Tennessee's passing game is typically known.
