Despite their solid season-long numbers, the Chargers have struggled of late to contain opposing run games. They sit ninth league-wide in raw yardage allowed and 12th on a per-carry basis but have given up huge recent days to Cincinnati’s Joe Mixon (26 for 111 and 1 touchdown) and Gus Edwards (14 for 92) in this very matchup. Decimated by injuries to the front seven, they’ll continue to ride a patchwork group into Baltimore. This front is designed to stop the pass first and foremost, and it hasn’t featured much pure linebacker play at all since middle linebacker Denzel Perryman’s injury. With both him and Jatavis Brown sidelined, it’s hard to predict how the team will approach early downs. Special-teamers Kyle Emanuel and Hayes Pullard will be pressed into heavy snaps, while the Chargers hope their solid line rotation can withstand the Ravens’ power-blocking approach. Still, they’ll need some degree of linebacker play to handle creases and cutback lanes, and they come into this matchup severely undermanned. Baltimore’s trio of dynamic runners should have plenty of room to erupt when they’re able to reach the second level - though it’s worth noting this unit held quarterback Lamar Jackson in check (39 yards on 13 attempts) just 2 weeks ago.
Ravens should put up 70+ rushing yards over Chargers, while only giving up 45 additional passing yards in exchange.
