Quarterback: B-

Lamar Jackson needed only to throw 12 passes to lead the Ravens to a rout. Jackson finished the game with a passer score of 114.6, despite only having eight throws. He completed them for 150 yards and two touchdowns. Jackson had another interception when Zay Flowers dropped the ball that fell into a defender’s arms. Jackson also threw a pass to Mark Andrews, which should have been intercepted but was not. He took four sacks as well, and some were due to his indecisiveness in deciding whether he should run or pass. Jackson, despite the turnover, was a better thrower in this game compared to recent weeks. He also picked up 2 first downs by scrambling with 26 rushing yard. The Ravens offensive hopes are boosted by his athleticism in the last two games.

Running back: A-

The Ravens ran for 189 yards, averaging 7.9 yards per rush. They took advantage of the Bengals’ poor run defense. Derrick Henry was the leader with 100 yards in only 11 carries. His longest rush was 29 yards. Henry had his fifth 100+-yard performance of the season, and it was also his most efficient performance based on yards per carry in Week 1. Keaton Mitchell, on the other hand, ran for 66 yards in eight attempts — just a week after accumulating 76 yards from only six carries during Week 14. Mitchell was a force in this game and gave the Ravens a boost behind Henry. Baltimore’s offensive line could benefit if he continues to build momentum in the last stretch of the season. Rasheen Ali scored his first career touchdown with two catches, including a 30-yard touchdown off a screen.

Wide Receiver: C+

Flowers’ performance was full of highs and lows. Flowers made an impressive acrobatic catch earlier in the match and caught a 28-yard touchdown. He also made two costly mistakes — the first resulted in an interception, and the second was a touchdown that would have been scored in the endzone. He led the team with 68 yard and three catches and scored for the first since Week 1. Deandre Hopkins was given one target, and he made the most out of it. His 32-yard catch was the longest reception of the day. Rashod bateman’s ankle injury prevented him from playing in the starting lineup. No other wide receiver took on a more offensive role.

Tight end: C

In this match, the Ravens tight ends had another quiet day. Mark Andrews, the only tight-end to be targeted by Jackson, caught two passes totaling 18 yards. Andrews is clearly behind Flowers as Jackson’s preferred target. Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar and others were not involved in the passing game. The tight ends all played a part in the success of the team in the running game and deserve credit for their blocking.

Offensive line: B-

The Ravens offensive line, which has a strong run blocking unit, dominated the Cincinnati defensive front. Running lanes opened up for the rest of the game after a slow first quarter. The Ravens were successful both inside the tackles as well as on zone rushes at the edge. The Ravens still gave up more pressure than they would have liked, especially since the Bengals were missing Trey Hendrickson. Jackson was sacked and hit five times. Overall, this was an impressive performance by the front-five unit compared to many recent games.

Defensive line: B+

Travis Jones, who signed a contract extension for three years earlier this week had an impressive performance in Cincinnati. Jones had four tackles, including a sack and tackle for loss. He also made strong plays against the running game. John Jenkins had four tackles, as well. Outside of Jones, the defensive line did not have a significant statistical impact on pass rushes but they played a role in the team’s success in the trenches against Joe Burrow. They also did well against the run. The Bengals rushed for 100 yards total on 29 carries (3.44 yards per carry). No rush was longer than 10 yard.

Edge Rusher – A

The Ravens defense’s pass rush was their best of the season, and the edge rushers were the ones who led the charge. Tavius Robinson, who returned from a foot injury with a sack and two quarterback hits as well as a tackle for loss, made an immediate impact. Mike Green, a rookie, also recorded in these three categories. Dre’Mont Jones, who had a game high five quarterback hits, was unable to take Burrow down but still caused havoc within the pocket. Jones showed a physical edge and tenacity that the Ravens lacked. Kyle Van Noy also had a quarterback hit on Burrow and made one of key plays in the game. Van Noy intercepted the pass at Baltimore’s seven-yard line in the fourth quarter. Van Noy passed the ball to Alohi Gillman after picking off, which resulted in an 84 yard touchdown return.

Linebacker: B+

Teddye Buchanan was one of the unfortunate victims in the Ravens victory. He suffered a serious knee injury, and left the game before the end. Trenton Simpson, who took his place and was second in the team for tackles (9), played a more prominent role. Roquan was everywhere on the field. He had 14 total tackles, including eight solo tackles. The Ravens did a good job covering the middle of field and their linebackers were also very effective against the run.

Cornerback: B+

The Ravens cornerbacks were able to avoid having to face Tee Higgins, who missed this game due a concussion. Ja’Marr chase was able to make up for a bad day in the Bengals’ offensive, largely because he was the lone wide receiver who saw passes thrown towards him. Chase caught 10 passes for 132 yard on 16 targets. The Ravens were able to limit the impact of Cincinnati’s other wideouts – only one non-chase receiver caught a pass. Nate Wiggins recorded eight tackles, including a pass breakup. Marlon Hushrey added another pass breakup to his three from last week. Humphrey intercepted a throw high to Chase, and returned it 21 yards. Chidobe awuzie also left the game early for the Ravens with a foot problem. This would have been incredibly detrimental to them if he had to miss time.

Safety: B+

Gilman, who was mentioned above, had his best performance since joining the Ravens. Gilman, in addition to his long touchdown that gave the Ravens an impressive 24-point lead at the end of the fourth quarter also had eight tackles and a pass breakup. He also played well against the running game. Malaki Starks also recorded a pass breakup in single coverage, and five tackles. Kyle Hamilton played an all-around game and had a positive impact on all aspects of the game. He tied Gilman with eight tackles. Ar’Darius Washington joined the Ravens’ trio of safety players, making two tackles on his debut season.

Special Team B

Jordan Stout punted only three times. His longest attempt was 53 yards. He did, however, have one punt that was inside the 20 yard line. Tyler Loop made his one field goal attempt and scored all three extras. Ali, the Ravens’ only kickoff returner, returned it for 32 yards. Their own return coverage, on the other hand, was excellent. Charlie Jones, who was stuffed by the Bengals for negative yards, cost them two yards.
