RT @danorlovsky7: The @Ravens run game is about as diverse as there is in the NFL at wasting defenders #nfllive https:/ Via @danorlovsky7 on X

What happened: ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky highlighted the Baltimore Ravens' ground attack on NFL Live, noting the scheme's ability to misdirect and neutralizing opposing defenders through varied looks.

Why it matters: Scheme diversity forces linebackers and edge defenders to hesitate at the mesh point, creating rushing lanes even against top-tier fronts. The same Baltimore offense that closed out a 41-23 win in September continues to dictate defensive assignments on early downs.

By the numbers: Baltimore rushed for 208 yards against a Falcons defense that entered Sunday allowing a league-low 48.3 rushing yards per game.

What to watch: Opposing defensive coordinators will have to account for Baltimore's multiple run concepts as the 2026 regular season progresses.
