While Buffalo sports the third-best defense in the league, they have a glaring weakness on the ground. Considering the Ravens have the best rushing attack in the league in attempts, yards, touchdowns and yards-per-attempt, that doesn’t bode well for the Bills. But it’s a few key stats that stand out where we could see Baltimore attack specifically.

The Bills have allowed the third-most runs of 20-plus yards by running backs this season. A good portion of that has been due to a hot-and-cold defensive line. According to Inside Edge, Buffalo’s defensive line has 41 missed tackles this season, which ranks as the most in the NFL.

With Lamar Jackson at quarterback helping to create some indecision and misdirection, we could see the Bills struggle even more in choosing the ballcarrier and making the tackle. Of course, it seems like every week where Jackson has made some defender completely whiff on a tackle, so that already helps the Ravens’ chances of picking up some big runs.
