BEHIND THE NUMBERS: Own the clock, take care of the rock

BTN will provide the team rankings of the Ravens’ opponents for an easy comparison tool for the remainder of the season.

Will this be a December to remember? Based on how the numbers moved in the right direction during November, one can hope. The Ravens have now scored at least 27 points in six of their last seven games. Scoring 20+ points is the benchmark between winning and losing in the NFL. In week 13 teams that scored under 20 points were a combined 3-13 (.188). This year the Ravens are 1-3 when scoring less than 20 points.

The Turnover ratio ranking is at a season high and when combined with the continued #1 ranking in TOP at 34:11, it’s clear what the Ravens winning formula has become; own the clock and take care of the rock.

Check back each week to see if Cam’s new system is leading the boys in the right direction this year. Here’s where the offense stands after week 13.
