“The Ravens delivered the most dominant single-game defensive performance of the year, according to TruMedia’s Expected Points Added (EPA) model. That same model has Baltimore’s defense ranked No. 1 through five games. The offense delivered another uneven performance with Lamar Jackson averaging just 4.9 YPA. But one of the Ravens’ strengths is they can win in different ways. They’re 4-1 with an NFL-best plus-73 point differential, and it doesn’t feel like they’re close to playing their best yet.”
