That said, the Ravens have the worst pass defense in the league and have 6 CBs on IR or COVID list (plus 3 more safeties, too). They then lost a 7th CB almost immediately to Uzomah's knee. They had Kevon Seymour, Tavon Young, and Daryl Worley going against Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd. Two of those three guys were literally practice squad CBs.
Imagine the Bengals 9th and 10th CB options. Those were the guys on the field yesterday for the Ravens.
I had this conversation with a buddy last night actually, outside of Averrett who got hurt early the Packers basically played against the same secondary last week (Tony Jefferson was back this week though). So while it was a bad secondary, the potential league MVP and #1 WR in the league arguably didn’t do as much damage to them as we did.
