1. Baltimore Ravens
For all the grief the New York Jets have dealt with this season—mono, bowling, etc.—they do have the third-best run defense in the NFL. That’s right: third. Out of 32 teams, only the Saints and Buccaneers are better.
And when you allow that to sink in—after you Google it and reconfirm—it makes what the Ravens were able to do on Thursday night otherworldly.
When the whistle finally blew “ballgame,” the Lamar Jackson-led scampering nightmare for the Jets racked up over 200 years rushing. And if that wasn’t enough of an onslaught, Jackson also tossed for over 200 with five touchdowns.
As usual, through all of the highlight reel-making sensations, there was one of the sturdiest offensive lines in the league this year, leading the way for all of it—they even helped Lamar with his mock dinner bib because the offensive feast was getting messy.
this is too clean.. @ZEUS__78 @Lj_era8 https://t.co/RqbIXZtcV2
