I think your OC out-thought himself. Went completely in the opposite direction of what got BAL to this game, ffs. 15 rushes total for the game? He should be taken out to the woodshed, imo.

Definitely. Even worse, six carries to the running backs. Six! It really hurt us not having Mitchell/Dobbins today. But even still, this Ravens team has been the best running team in the history of football over the Lamar era with a hodgepodge of RBs. Monken was brought in to diversify the system and add more passing, but it went way too far to the other extreme. I'm not sure I saw a single RPO today, which is absolutely insane given that that's what Lamar does. And no answer for the blitz, which is inexcusable.
The Chiefs deserve credit for this. I actually think the Chiefs' offense did a lot to help the defense. No one gets an early lead against the Ravens. I think this was the first time Lamar had been down by 10 since 2021. The Chiefs being so lights out in their first two drives meant the Ravens felt pressured to adjust their gameplan to pass more than they already were this year, which squeezed out the run entirely. And then your d-line outperformed expectations. Great gameplan by KC.
