Ravens must attack Rams pass defense in Week 14

The Ravens will need Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. to play well Sunday.

Will the Baltimore Ravens opt for the pass attack versus the Los Angeles Rams in week 14?

The Ravens rank No. 1 in rush yards per game but may have their rushing attack nullified if the Rams turn this game into an offensive shootout. Rainy weather may have its impact on this game as well.

When Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken opts for the pass this weekend, he will want to use misdirection and play-action to move the Rams’ defense up front. Monken must neutralize defensive tackle Aaron Donald and allow time for quarterback Lamar Jackson to get some quick throws off. Ravens’ wide receivers Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. must win outside to give Jackson quick reads.

With the Rams sitting at 6-6, they would love to upset the Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium in pursuit of an NFC wild card. Monken must be prepared to counter Rams head coach Sean McVay with his own dynamic passing attack.

The Ravens need to stay ahead of the chains, away from third-and-long, and avoid the Rams pass rush to win in week 14.
