When you play against a team that studies you in the offseason and knows your tendencies (division opponents) it's simply a matter of playing sound assignment football for them. The run game has looked 10 x better against non-division opponents including those with fairly solid running defenses (S.F. & Tenn). For that reason I'd be surprised if Baltimore shuts us down the way the 'fade did today.

What you are really saying is our O-line is nothing near the 03-05 Chiefs and I disagree about the Ravens not shutting down our run game. Ngata will throw Weigmann around like a rag doll.
