I mean, we all know Joe is the best QB in the league against the blitz and it was only a matter of time until he adjusted.

But I noticed that (at least, on TV; All-22 may reveal otherwise) there were never any safeties in the middle of the field, especially on the deep runs; did Wink play a bunch of 0 and it bit him in the ass?

If so, we may have just exposed how to beat that D and if it can somehow topple the Ravens from being front-runners going forward (not saying it will), then perhaps we'll be able to take care of business against them a lot more often and not need to worry about them as much.

Again, someone would need to do a MUCH-deeper dive on it, but it would be great if we can pencil in 2 wins every 3 games against them again, like it was from 2010-2018 (2011 being the outlier).

Were they running the same D as last year when we got our ass beat in Baltimore?

I don't have a clue how they shut down Hebert.

I have watched the Ravens play three times this year. I have seen their defense get absolutely roasted by David Carr (34-56, 435 yds, 2 td 0 int), Carson Wentz (25-35, 402, 2 td, 0 int) and Burrow (23-38, 416, 3 td, 1 int)

Their defense isn’t the Ravens D of old. Ravens fans say the way to beat them is over the middle. Also the Ravens lucked out on a few of their wins. Eventually that catches up to teams.
