LB Cory Littleton
The Ravens run the ball better than any team in the NFL. Whether it’s with Jackson, Mark Ingram or Gus Edwards, they have no trouble moving the ball on the ground. This game is going to put Littleton at the forefront, needing to step up and have a great performance against the Ravens’ rushing attack.
Eye discipline will be key for Littleton with all the deception Baltimore uses on offense. He can’t bite on play action, or commit one way too hard when Jackson uses the read-option. A false first step could create a big play for Jackson on the ground, and it’s those explosive plays that Los Angeles has to limit.
Littleton will also be a contributor in coverage against the Ravens’ running backs and tight ends.
