Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Ravens fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The Baltimore Ravens are 4-5 after their third straight win, and SB Nation wants to hear from you!
The Ravens’ playoff probability is up to 76% with a 74% chance of winning the division. Have their wins over the Bears, Dolphins, and Vikings given you more confidence in the team’s outlook for the rest of the season, or do you need some more convincing wins against better opponents down the stretch?
Sunday’s win featured edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones’ debut in purple and black. In true pass sets – essentially, traditional dropback situations – he logged four pressures, one quarterback hit, and a 18.1% pass rush win rate on 23 snaps. per Pro Football Focus. The only Raven with better numbers was Travis Jones, who himself had an elite game in Minnesota. So, did Dre’Mont Jones impress enough in his first game with the Ravens?
Another key element of the Ravens’ victory was contributions from their rookie class. Malaki Starks logged an interception for the second game in a row, Mike Green was in the backfield all game, and Teddye Buchanan was all over the field. The UDFAs chipped in, too, with Keondre Jackson and Jay Higgins both forcing fumbles on kick off returns (Jackson recovered his) and Keyon Martin making a few key tackles on defense after Marlon Humphrey’s late exit. Let us know which rookie you think has had the best season so far!
