But that might not be the type of matchup fans receive this season.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because Baltimore has struggled mightily to stop opposing passing attacks this fall.<\/p>\n<p>During a guest appearance on \u201cPunch Line Podcast\u201d with Ravens cornerback\u00a0Marlon Humphrey, Steelers safety\u00a0DeShon Elliott pointed out the fact Baltimore\u2019s pass defense has performed so poorly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDefensively, I don\u2019t know what y\u2019all got going on over there. It has nothing to do with me,\u201d\u00a0Elliott said. \u201cBut the stat sheet says that y\u2019all are No. 1 in run defense. But it says, I think, y\u2019all are 32nd in pass defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The comment, which Elliott made less than five minutes into the podcast episode, left Humphrey searching for a response for nearly 10 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah. Honestly, yeah,\u201d Humphrey said initially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat has been quite rough I would say,\u201d he then added.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott\u2019s statistics were correct.\u00a0The Ravens allow 73 rushing yards per game, which is six yards fewer than any other team in the league.<\/p>\n<p>But Baltimore also yields 294.9 passing yards per contest, which is dead last in the NFL. Incredibly, the Ravens are giving up 30 more passing yards per game than any other team in the league.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gg0tl-ZHiuY?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Topic Quickly Changes After DeShon Elliott Drops Shocking Ravens Statistics<\/h2>\n<p>As a follow up, Elliott asked Humphrey if the Ravens defense was getting any sacks. Essentially, the question was giving Humphrey an opportunity to explain that Baltimore\u2019s poor pass defense statistics aren\u2019t just a result of the team\u2019s secondary.<\/p>\n<p>Whether Humphrey didn\u2019t want to throw teammates under the bus or simply didn\u2019t want to answer the question, the topic quickly changed on the podcast to the Steelers facing\u00a0Jayden Daniels\u00a0and\u00a0Lamar Jackson in back-to-back weeks.<\/p>\n<p>To answer DeShon Elliott\u2019s question, the Ravens are getting sacks.\u00a0They have\u00a031 sacks through 10 weeks, which is more than every NFL team but three.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the Ravens are still 28th in net yards per pass attempt this season.<\/p>\n<p>The overall sack numbers could be a little misleading for a couple reasons. Opponents call a lot of passes versus the Ravens defense, and Baltimore hasn\u2019t had its bye week yet.\u00a0The Ravens are\u00a0middle of the road in sack rate at 7.2%, which is 14th in the league.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2LMPyA1mMJE?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Not a Coincidence the Ravens are 1st in Run Defense, 32nd in Pass Defense?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s extremely rare for a defense to excel against the run and struggle so much versus the pass. But there\u2019s a couple factors contributing to Baltimore\u2019s polarizing defensive statistics.<\/p>\n<p>While the number of pass attempts has helped the Ravens sack numbers, it\u2019s hurt their overall pass defense statistics.\u00a0Baltimore has faced 22 more passes than any other team this season.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, opponents have only attempted 216 runs versus the Ravens. That\u2019s seventh-fewest in the NFL during 2024.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s contributed to the disparity in run and pass defense for Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>From a percentage standpoint, though, the Ravens are still far better at stopping the run.\u00a0Baltimore is No. 1\u00a0in the NFL with 3.4 yards per carry allowed. The Ravens are 29th in passing yards allowed per attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Elliott can make fun of the Ravens poor pass defense all he wants. The jokes are warranted.<\/p>\n<p>The Steelers, though, are a run-first offense, and that\u2019s probably not going to be the recipe for success in Week 11 versus Baltimore.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-youtube-com\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Play\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6v30PwirYsk?autoplay=1\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyBaltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey struggled to find a response to a joke from Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott on the &#8220;Punch Line Podcast&#8221;
