Behind the Numbers - BEHIND THE NUMBERS: Ravens navigate uncharted waters in passing game
I don’t know about you, but as a long-time Ravens fan I can’t recall a time when the passing game was ranked in the top 10 in every major statistical category.
Granted, it’s only through three games of the season, but the improvement in the passing game has been remarkable. Joe Flacco is now 14-5 (73.7%) in regular season games and boasts a QB rating of 101.4. The pass distribution this year has remained very even, while the RBs still continue to see more passes compared to last year.
Check BTN next week to see where Joe Flacco and the passing game stand.
