The Ravens offense has progressively been getting worse since Week 10 when Baltimore got blown out by the Dolphins, who decided to blitz Lamar on nearly every play. Over their past three games, the Ravens have averaged just 14 points per game. The only thing that's been worse than the Steelers defense over the past few weeks is the Ravens offense. Jackson was downright awful against the Browns, but the Ravens were still able to win because the Browns decided to start a quarterback who basically has the same amount of injuries as someone who was just hit by a bus. The Steelers used to have a vaunted defense, but I don't think it qualifies as vaunted anymore after giving up 41 points in EACH of the past two weeks.Īs for the Ravens, they're going into Sunday after a week where Lamar Jackson played arguably the worst game of his career. On one hand, you have the Steelers, who I'm pretty sure gave up about midway through the third quarter against the Bengals on Sunday. I'll be honest here, I have no idea what to make of this game. For some reason, they forget how to play football during even-numbered weeks, but during odd numbered-weeks, they're the 1985 Bears. ![]() However, I am slightly worried about picking against the Chargers and that's because this is an odd-numbered week and the Chargers NEVER lose in odd-numbered weeks. If the Bengals are smart, they'll just give the ball to Joe Mixon 47 times in this game. When it comes to having a bad run defense, the Chargers are the best in the NFL, except being the best here actually means you're the worst, so it's not really something you want to brag about. Through 12 weeks, the Chargers are surrendering 145.3 rushing yards per game, which is ridiculously bad when you consider that no other team in the NFL is even surrendering 136 yards per game. I now know why Chargers coach Brandon Staley goes for it all the time on fourth down and it's clearly because he wants to do everything possible to make sure his defense doesn't ever get on the field, because if they're on the field, that means that Chargers are probably going to lose. One reason they're falling apart is because they can't stop the run. I'm not exactly sure why the Chargers have fallen apart over the past few weeks, but my main working theory is that it's because they're the Chargers and falling apart is what they do. ![]() The Chargers started the season 4-1, but they're just 2-4 since then. ![]()
