Being 5th in redzone defense means nothing if you're the 28th scoring defense.
Being a top 10 rush defense (I assume 10th?) over the last three weeks doesn't change the fact that on the season they are 32nd in rush defense, 30th in yards per rush allowed, and 31st in rushing TDs allowed.
Not to mention we all know that if the Ravens didn't bench their starters in a 49-13 game, that rushing defense over the last three weeks would have been terrible.
