Pros
- Opposing teams have averaged 36.4 pass attempts per game against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense this year: 3rd-most in the league.
- Demarcus Robinson has been a much bigger part of his team’s air attack this season (14.3% Target Share in games he has been on the field) than he was last season (5.9%).
- Demarcus Robinson has accrued significantly more air yards this year (39.0 per game) than he did last year (23.0 per game).
- The Baltimore Ravens offensive line grades out as the 5th-best in the league this year in pass protection, which has a strong effect on all pass attack statistics across the board.
- Demarcus Robinson has put up many more receiving yards per game (35.0) this year than he did last year (17.0).
Cons
- The Ravens are a huge 13-point favorite in this game, indicating an extreme rushing game script.
- THE BLITZ projects the Baltimore Ravens to be the 8th-least pass-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 53.4% pass rate, given their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
- THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 2nd-lowest volume of plays run among all games this week at 124.9 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The forecast calls for 17-mph wind in this game. High wind typically means lower pass volume (and higher run volume) and worse passing efficiency.
- The Baltimore Ravens offensive line has afforded their QB a mere 2.39 seconds before getting pressured (4th-worst in the NFL since the start of last season), which has a harmful effect on all pass game statistics across the board.
