Baltimore Beatdown
Quarterback: B+
Tyler Huntley once again performed admirably in a big relief spot with Lamar Jackson inactive with a back injury. Huntley only threw for 107 yards but was efficient with 16-of-20 passes completed. He delivered a few timely third-down conversion throws, including the 10-yard touchdown strike to Zay Flowers in the fourth quarter that gave the Ravens a multiple-possession lead. His longest pass of the game went for just 13 yards but Huntley had 60 additional yards on the ground highlighted by a long 25-yard pickup. Equally important was the fact that Huntley avoided any turnovers or costly mistakes in a difficult road environment.
Running Back: A+
There’s no other way to put it: Derrick Henry nothing short of sensational in this game. With their backs against the wall, Henry turned in one of the best performances of his legendary career. Henry received a whopping 36 carries, a career-high, and finished with 216 yards and four — yes four touchdowns. Henry had 100+ yards in both halves and multiple long runs for over double-digit yards. Behind the Ravens’ offensive line, Henry wore down the Green Bay Packers’ defense from start to finish. Keaton Mitchell saw nine carries of his own and gained 31 yards, 14 of which came on one attempt.
Wide Receiver: C
On a low-volume night for the passing attack, Zay Flowers’ 30 receiving yards was enough to lead all pass-catchers. Flowers only had four catches as well, but they were impactful and included multiple first-down pickups on third down. His fourth-quarter touchdown catch was his third receiving score of the year and extended his scoring streak to three games in a row. Rashod Bateman was the only other wide receiver to catch a pass but had only one reception for seven yards, while Deandre Hopkins received one lone target with no catches.
Tight End: B-
Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely finished second and third on the team in targets behind Flowers. They didn’t make any downfield plays but recorded some timely short-to-intermediate catches for Huntley to help extend drives. They combined to catch all seven of their total targets for 55 yards. Charlie Kolar had no catches on one target but played a big role in run blocking, as did this whole group. That goes for Pat Ricard as well, who was party to multiple key blocks in open space.
Defensive Line: C+
The Ravens slowed down the Packers’ run game at the line of scrimmage, bottling up Josh Jacobs and Emmauel Wilson (seven carries, 19 rushing yards combined). They weren’t able to contain Malik Willis at times but were still stalwart against the Packers’ running backs. Travis Jones had another impactful game with 1.5 sacks, one tackle-for-loss, and a quarterback hit with four tackles. As has been the case, the Ravens didn’t get too much noticeable production from the rest of the defensive line group. Their pass rush left some to be desired but they at least helped make the Packers one-dimensional offensively.
