I checked the stats and there were only 6 RB carries for the Ravens and 2 WR runs, and I think 3 of Lamar's runs were designed runs. Very strange against one of the poorest run-defenses in the league and given the Ravens top-ranked run offense. And the three RB carries in the first half were quite successful. Just a total meltdown by the Raven's offense which was so explosive all year. I think that falls on the OC. They can't fire him, I would imagine, because of such a good regular season, but he seemed to have gotten too smart for himself on the big stage, especially when it was clear Lamar was not having a good game.
