The Baltimore Ravens aren’t as good as they were in the past. The Baltimore Ravens’ defense has been a liability on many occasions, and Derrick Henry looks like a shell.

Lamar Jackson‘s absence has been a major factor in this. When their quarterback is injured, the opposing defense focuses on trying to contain their strong running back.

Former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky has revealed some worrying stats regarding the Ravens star duo.

“Lamar/Henry had 23 explosive zone read runs last year at a 5.7 clip. Orlovsky, writing on X, said that they have four such runs right now (4.3, 25% less).

Last year, Lamar/Henry ran 23 explosive zone-read runs at a clip of 5.7.

This team is not to be underestimated. Jackson may have performed poorly in the playoffs but he has been dominant during the regular season. There is still plenty of football to be played.

AFC North is still open for grabs despite the disappointing season. The Ravens are more than capable to close the season with a bang and make things interesting in the top division.

Henry’s use may have finally caught him up. Running backs are more likely to fall out of favor than other players because they endure more wear and tear. Henry’s form could improve with Jackson at full strength.
