Colin Cowherd: “Baltimore has a chance to be scary. You go look at that box score versus Kansas City –– the fireworks show of the league –– first downs, Baltimore had more. Passing first downs, Baltimore had as many. Fourth down efficiency, Baltimore was better. Total yards, close. Rushing, Baltimore. Rushing, both great. Possession, Baltimore. And that’s in Kansas City facing the best offensive personnel in the league. 90% of the teams in the NFL would have walked in there and gotten run over. Baltimore’s offensive line was better than Kansas City’s, their pass rush was more consistent, their running game was better, and their secondary was better. Yes, they couldn’t stop Patrick Mahomes but nobody will for the next decade. Baltimore does what you have to do to beat great quarterbacks, control time off possession and make them watch the game from the sidelines.” (Full Audio at Bottom of Page)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he was more impressed with the Baltimore Ravens’ close loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3 than he was with most NFL teams’ victories over the weekend.
Colin believes the Ravens have passed the eye test as a legitimate contender and thinks the team will be a scary powerhouse the rest of the season given their ability to put a stranglehold on the game’s time of possession and keep the other team’s star quarterback off the field.
Even though the team ultimately fell victim to a Patrick Mahomes laser light show (27/37, 374 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs) Colin says he loved the competitiveness of the game in a hostile Arrowhead Stadium.
Check out the audio below as Colin details why the Ravens are one of the most terrifying matchups in the NFL.
