Some statistics on the Baltimore offense

[kmd24]

• 522 rushing attempts 1st in the league.
• Only 6th in the league in rushing yards per game.
• Only team ranked in the top half of the league with a per carry average under 4 (Chicago with 3.9 ypc is the next highest ranked at 20th).
• 383 passing attempts, 30th in the league (Carolina, Oakland).
• Give up 1 sack every 15.3 attempts, 14th in the league
• 17th in the league in yards per passing attempt
• 21st in the league in offensive TD's, 10th in rushing TD's
• Averaging 142 ypg on the ground
• 2-5 in games where they rushed for less than 142 yards

This is clearly a team hiding their quarterback, which is understandable because he is a rookie.

Thanks for the stats.

Only twice so far this year has a team rushed for more than one hundred yards on us.

The funny thing is that we've been really good against the run these past 5 games or so (since the debacle against the Giants in early Nov). I think we allow about 85 yards per game in our 4-1 stretch since the bye week. I don't see Baltimore being able to run on us, which means that Flacco will have to try to beat us.

I would put 8 and 9 in the box if I had to in this game, and force their rookie QB to throw.
