This is true. The Ravens' have almost always had a top-tier run defense, but not this year. It's not a bad run defense, it's just not one of the best in the league. I would argue it's by design. They are willing to let teams run a bit as long as they don't do anything through the air.
The bigger question here is do the Chiefs have a good enough running game to take advantage of this? Will they stick to it even if they're behind in the game? All of the teams you cited above prioritize their running game. Do the Chiefs? The Texans had 38 rushing yards last week.
