BALTIMORE, MD - OCTOBER 22: Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson smiles and celebrates after his second quarter touchdown during the Detroit Lions versus Baltimore Ravens NFL game at M&T Bank Stadium on October 22, 2023 in Baltimore, MD. The Colts rolled up 456 yards of offense against Cleveland's absurd defense
Should we have seen Baltimore's explosion coming? Or maybe it was a case of an offense finally clicking under a new system, the Todd Monken scheme finally clicking with his players., Baltimore did anything it wanted. On so many of the pass plays, the Ravens were running wide open. On other plays, Lamar Jackson bought extra time with his mobility. And on many snaps, the Baltimore blocking kept the Detroit pass rush at bay. Pitch-and-catch, good work if you can get it.
Jackson and Monken did a superb job spreading the ball around, targeting nine different players in all. Perhaps that had something to do with all the wide-open receivers; Detroit never knew what punch was coming next. Mark Andrews scored a couple of touchdowns, Zay Flowers just missed scoring on a 46-yard breakaway, and even notorious non-catcher Gus Edwards turned a short flip into an 80-yard reception. Sometimes it's just your day.
The width of Baltimore's passing tree held back some of the ancillary pieces. Nelson Agholor had a 12-yard touchdown catch, but that was his only target. Odell Beckham Jr. and Rashod Bateman are still best left on waiver wires or fantasy benches. The Baltimore offense is still centered around three players: Jackson. Andrews, and Flowers. Your weekly call on Edwards depends on the depth of your backfield.
