Bills scouting report: Scouting the Ravens’ divisional-round opponent

A look at the offensive and defensive statistics of the Buffalo Bills ahead of the AFC divisional-round clash with the Baltimore Ravens

The Buffalo Bills are the only thing between the Baltimore Ravens and the AFC Championship Game. That makes this AFC divisional-round matchup between the two sides possibly the best game in a star-studded weekend of action.

The Bills finished the regular season with a 13-3 record, their best season since they went 13-3 in back to back in 1990 and 1991. Sean McDermott, the Bills head coach, has led the team to the playoffs in three of his four seasons at the helm. The only other coaches in team history with three postseason berths are Marv Levy and Lou Saban.

Buffalo is one of the best teams in the NFL, ranked No. 4 in total DVOA, according to Football Outsiders. The Bills finished as the No. 2 seed in the AFC behind only the Kansas City Chiefs, and their first-place finish in the AFC East marked their first division title since 1995.

The Bills overcame a spirited showing from the Indianapolis Colts in the wild-card round to advance to meet the Ravens. The Colts outgained the Bills 472 -397, but Buffalo made just enough plays to pull off a 27-24 victory — the first since 1995.

Ravens’ Week 15 snap counts vs Jaguars: Baltimore might have found its starting lineup

A look at the playing time for the Ravens players in their Week 15 demolition of the Jacksonville Jaguars

The Baltimore Ravens improved to 9-5 in the 2020 NFL regular season after a comprehensive 40-14 victory over the hapless Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Baltimore has now won three games in a row as they continue to push for a Wild Card berth.

The Ravens were not at full strength for this one, with a number of key players ruled inactive just before kickoff. But the players that were left were more than a match for the Jaguars. With Baltimore leading 26-0 at halftime, this was never really a contest.

Let’s dive into the Ravens’ offensive and defensive snap counts from Week 15.

Ravens vs. Jaguars: 7 fun facts about this Week 15 matchup

Seven fun facts you might not know ahead of the Ravens clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15

The Baltimore Ravens will look to extend their win streak to three games and continue their playoff push in Week 15. But the Jacksonville Jaguars stand in the way of those goals.

Baltimore is currently outside the Wild Card spots with an 8-5 record. Jacksonville has lost each of the last 12 games and is still in contention to earn the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Though, on paper, this matchup doesn’t appear to be anything special; plenty of special things have happed when these two teams have met before.

Here are seven fun facts about this series, which began way back in the Ravens’ first year of existence, 1996.

Jaguars scouting report: Scouting the Ravens’ Week 15 matchup

A scouting report look at what the Baltimore Ravens can expect to see from the Jacksonville Jaguars’ offense and defense this week.

The Baltimore Ravens’ push for a playoff berth continues in Week 15 with a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. At 8-5, a Ravens’ victory coupled with a loss by one of three other teams would see Baltimore move into the wild card spots in the AFC playoff picture.

Baltimore has won their last two games after a rough three-game stretch of losses to AFC opponents. Following a victory in Week 1, the Jaguars have lost each of their last 12 games.

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone is in his fourth season in charge after two games as the interim coach in 2016. Jacksonville made the playoffs in 2017, but since then, the team has gone 12-33. The Jaguars are, as their record would suggest, one of the worst teams in the league this year. They are ranked 30th in the NFL, according to DVOA.

Let’s take a closer look at what the Ravens can expect to see from the Jaguars this week:

Browns scouting report: Scouting Cleveland’s offense and defense for Week 14

There has been a ton of time since the Baltimore Ravens crushed the Cleveland Browns in Week 1. Where do the Browns stand in Week 14?

This is, without a doubt, the biggest clash between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cleveland Browns in the recent history of the rivalry. Both teams are still alive in the AFC playoff hunt, but for a change, it is Cleveland who holds the box seat at present.

A lot has changed since these teams met in Baltimore in Week 1. The 9-3 Browns are second in the AFC North and if the season ended today they would be in the playoffs for the first time in 2002 as the 5th seed. The 7-5 Ravens would miss the postseason given their present record, as they trail all seven playoff teams and the Las Vegas Raiders. There really is an awful lot to play for in Cleveland on Monday night.

Let’s take a closer look at what the Ravens can expect to see from the Browns this week.

Ravens vs. Cowboys: 7 fun facts about this Week 13 matchup

The Ravens take on the Cowboys in Week 13. Here are seven things you didn’t know you didn’t know about this series.

At the start of the 2020 season, two offenses that most people were looking forward to watching in the weeks ahead were the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys. Both teams seemed stacked with exciting playmakers at every level, including two high-caliber quarterbacks. The Week 13 clash between the two was expecting to see two playoff-bound juggernauts duking it out in the cold.

Things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for either team since then, sadly. However, the 6-5 Ravens and the 3-8 Cowboys are not dead just yet. And this week’s matchup should provide some points of interest. Indeed, the small number of games between the two sides has produced some interesting connections. Here are seven of my favorites.

AFC playoff picture: Ravens on the outside looking in after Week 11

How does the top seven in the AFC conference look at present, and who would be the playoff teams if the season ended today?

For the first time all season, the AFC playoff picture does not include the Baltimore Ravens. Their loss to the Tennessee Titans, coupled with results elsewhere, pushed the Ravens out of the top seven teams in the AFC. Given the team’s struggles on the field, especially on offense, and off it due to their increased exposure to Covid-19, we are entering a crucial stage of the season for the Ravens. The margin for error in the remaining weeks of the season is practically zero.

Tennessee Titans scouting report: Scouting the Titans’ offense and defense for Week 11

A look at what the Baltimore Ravens can expect to see from the Tennessee Titans’ offense and defense in Week 11.

Week 11 is another crucial week for the Baltimore Ravens in their push for a playoff berth in 2020. The Ravens, sitting at 6-3 and having lost two of their last three games, play host to the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are also 6-3 and have dropped three of their last four games.

Mike Vrabel is in his third season as the Titans head coach, and the team has gone 9-7 in each of the last two seasons. This season, the Titans rank 16% in overall DVOA according to Football Outsiders. The Titans have looked good on offense, for the most part, this season behind quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry. But the team’s Achilles heel has been their defense, which has performed well below expectation in 2020. The Titans were expecting big things from free-agent acquisitions Vic Beasley and Jadeveon Clowney to beef up their pass rush. But this has not happened.

Let’s take a closer look at what the Ravens can expect to see from the Titans this week.

Ravens vs. Titans: 7 fun facts about this Week 11 matchup

There are a lot of similarities between the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans heading into their Week 11 tilt.

The Baltimore Ravens take on the Tennessee Titans in a battle of ailing teams sitting at 6-3. Both teams lost last week and are looking to not only get back to their winning ways but pick up a critical win that will propel them in the AFC playoff picture.

It’s an old-school rivalry that harkens back to the early days of both the Ravens and Titans franchises coming into the league. With revenge on Baltimore’s mind after getting booted from the playoffs by Tennessee last year, there’s a little something extra this week.

Before the teams kick off this weekend, here are seven interesting little facts about this rivalry that you can entertain your friends and family with.
