The Ravens averaged 37 points per game through Week 3. In the last nine games, they have averaged 18.2 per game.

Cincinnati was ranked at the bottom of the NFL for total defense entering Week 13. Baltimore’s offensive problems are more alarming, especially this late in the year, because you couldn’t tell from watching the game.

Baltimore was the first Bengals opponent to fail to score 10 points or more by halftime. The Ravens scored on their first drive but failed to score again on the next seven possessions.

Recent Ravens offenses have been inconsistent. Derrick Henry, who had 60 yards of rushing against Cincinnati, was the best offensive player for the Ravens but he only received 10 carries. Zay Flowers was held to only two catches of six yards by the Bengals, and his touchdown was nullified due to an offensive pass-interference penalty.

Isaiah Likely’s fumble during the second quarter, which cost Cincinnati a lot of momentum, was a major blow to their team. The ball was thrown out in front of Likely as he approached the goal. This ruined a 45 yard touchdown. This allowed Bengals safety Jordan Battle knock the ball out

The Ravens were expecting to be an explosive, high-scoring offense in Year 3 of Todd Monken’s offensive system. Jackson couldn’t pinpoint the reason why the Ravens offense has struggled in recent months.

Before they play the Steelers, there are many offensive areas that need improvement.
