It’s not gonna matter. Teams are ok with us having a successful run game because they know well always go away from it and teams are so afraid of Burrow that they probably don’t care if we get even 150 yards on the ground.
Teams are banking on rushing Burrow and getting pressures. No one is going to let us pass on them just because we’re going hard on the ground. I had this theory last year and Iv seen a couple analysts discuss this as well.
If I’m Baltimore i think i can win even if Mixon has 150 yards. The easiest way to lose as the Raven is to get down early to Burrows passing. So i don’t think teams are gonna care about our run game unless it gets REALLY REALLY good.
This is a bigger issue than we are discussing here and it’s kinda similar to the Chiefs. Teams just don’t care if Pachecho goes off because it means Mahommes isn’t killing them.
