Brown’s Five Thoughts on Ravens’ Offense, Win vs. Commanders

As soon as Baltimore’s offense obtained rolling, the Commanders could not cease it. Baltimore’s remaining six possessions resulted in three touchdowns, two fields objectives, and a seven-play drive that ran out the sport’s remaining 2:48 and resulted in victory formation.

The Ravens did a masterful job utilizing their many weapons. They averaged a season-high 7.4 yards per play, even higher than Week 5 in opposition to the Cincinnati Bengals once they averaged 6.8 yards whereas scoring 41 factors.

Jackson was much less spectacular than he was in Cincinnati, however extra surgical. He nonetheless threw for 323 yards and one landing and took benefit of Washington loading the field to cease Henry. Baltimore had landing drives of 93 and 94 yards. These type of lengthy marches demoralize an opponent.

Jackson’s most important goal was Flowers (9 catches, 132 yards), who used his quickness to benefit from man-to-man protection, getting open and selecting up yards after the catch. Rashod Bateman caught each cross when he was focused (4 catches, 71 yards), and Mark Andrews (three catches, 71 yards) scored his first landing of 2024.

In the meantime, Henry (24 carries, 132 yards) went over 100 yards for the third time in 4 weeks. He is known as “The King,” however possibly “The Nearer” could be a greater nickname. A future by Henry within the fourth quarter is turning into like a victory cigar for the Ravens. One week after his 51-yard gallop in extra time helped subdue the Bengals, Henry ripped off a 27-yard run simply previous to the two-minute warning that principally sealed Washington’s destiny.

Jackson describes Baltimore as a pick-your-poison offense, and up to date opponents have been unable to seek out an antidote. That is what the Ravens envisioned within the second yr with Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken, and with the addition of Henry. Throughout coaching camp, they talked about working it successfully, throwing it successfully, and retaining opponents off stability with the range of their assault. That imaginative and prescient has come to fruition.
