Ravens’ Week 9 snap counts vs. Colts: A new offensive line stays steady

We take a closer look at the Baltimore Ravens’ snap counts in Week 9 to see who played and what changes the starting lineup made.

The Baltimore Ravens got back to their winning ways with a 24-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. It wasn’t always pretty but the Ravens overcame a lot of hurdles in Week 9 to pick up a statement win, including battling with several new starters on the offensive line and injuries on defense.

At the midpoint of the season, all of those changes ultimately mean a time of uncertainty for Baltimore. Swapping starters at this point is never an ideal situation and it’ll take time for the Ravens to get back up to whatever full speed truly looks like. But at the same time, Baltimore’s snap counts against Indianapolis at least clues us into where the Ravens might be heading in terms of their personnel.

Let’s dive into the Ravens’ offensive and defensive snap counts from Week 9.

The Ravens defense put points on the board against the Colts with a Chuck Clark fumble recovery for a score.

The Baltimore Ravens might not have cornerback Marlon Humphrey in the lineup today but his knack for forcing fumbles seems to have spread to his defensive teammates.

Trailing by seven points against the Indianapolis Colts, cornerback Marcus Peters stripped running back Jonathan Taylor’s grasp on the Ravens 35-yard line. Baltimore safety Chuck Clark scooped up the loose ball and 65-yards later, the Ravens were an extra point away from tying the game. Justin Tucker, as per usual, made no mistake.

This was the Ravens ninth defensive touchdown since the start of last season, and extending their streak of games with at least one turnover to 21 games.

Here’s the close-up angle on Clark’s insane obstacle return for a touchdown.
