The past three weeks in particular, Baltimore has built a compelling case it might be the best team in the NFL. The Ravens thrashed NFC North-leading Detroit 38-6, then won in routine fashion at lowly Arizona. On Sunday, they dominated a Seattle team that remained tied atop the NFC West despite the loss.Jackson was a bit gimpy after being tackled on a play in the third, but remained in the game.
After Seattle got a field goal, the Seahawks had a great chance to cut into the lead further when a fumble by Beckham gave them the ball at Baltimore's 43. But Kyle Van Noy sacked Smith on back-to-back plays, the second of which resulted in a fumble that gave the Ravens the ball at the Seattle 36 with 33 seconds left in the half.The Ravens entered the game with a league-high 31 sacks and added to that total with four before halftime.
Mitchell, a rookie, had played in only two previous games for the Ravens — without carrying the ball a single time. He made the most of his nine carries against Seattle, scoring on a 40-yard run in the third and adding a 60-yard rush in the fourth.in the Super Bowl in February 2022, but he also injured his knee in that game and didn't play again until this season with Baltimore. His 6-yard TD catch from Huntley made it 37-3.
It was Seattle's most lopsided loss since a 42-7 defeat against the Rams in 2017. It might have been worse, but the Ravens took a knee on fourth down at the Seattle 6 with under a minute remaining.
