Ravens’ rushing attack

Baltimore officially has the best rushing attack in NFL history, shattering the previous record which stood for 41 years. And now in the playoffs, we get to really see it pay off.

At this point in the season, teams are beat up and players are tired. Each and every extra game wears on them and their bodies. Now imagine a defender who’s exhausted and not able to fully recover from all the injuries they’ve gotten throughout the season try to tackle Mark Ingram. As we’ve seen repeatedly this season, that’s a tough task for a fresh defender in Week 1, much less now.

Add to it the fervor of the crowd in M&T Bank Stadium, the bitter cold of January in Baltimore and running backs who are fresh from weeks of rest . . . You can probably already envision the Ravens literally running over teams with all this in their favor.

Teams with great rushing attacks typically do well in the playoffs for this exact reason. And you don’t get any better than Baltimore in 2019 when it comes to running the football.
