NFL research: Ja’Marr Chase’s 431 receiving yards this season against the Ravens are the most by a player against a single opponent in a season, surpassing Art Powell’s 428 yards for the Raiders versus the Oilers in 1963.

The ESPNs Jamison Hensley: “The Ravens’ league-worst pass defense looked like that in the second half when Baltimore was without All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle). Ja’Marr Chase For the season, Baltimore has now given up 28 completions of 25 yards or more.

Baltimore Sun’s Tim Schwartz: “This offense is dominant right now. If the defense (and, special teams) can even be league average, this will be a tough team to beat. But their ceiling is so high because this defense was the league’s best last. Something has to change at defensive back this year, but they have Superman at the top of his game playing quarterback.”

Baltimore Sun’s Bennett Conlin: “John Harbaugh’s team still has major defensive issues. An injury to Kyle Hamilton depletes a weak secondary – the Ravens need him back healthy as soon as possible. Until the pass defense improves, Baltimore will rely on the offense to win games. Through 10 games, that strategy looks good enough to at least contend for the AFC North.”

The Russell Street Report Tanner George: “The secondary struggled mightily again, giving up two huge touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase, who seemed to have Baltimore’s number the last few years. Marcus Williams had a bit of an up and down game and Brandon Stephens once had some issues. On the other hand, Marlon Humphrey played bright ball and Nate Wiggins had a solid game.

Bleacher Report Staff: “Once again, the Ravens almost lost (to the Bengals) — because the defense was terrible against the pass. This is not a new problem for the Ravens. Entering Week 10, they had the best run defense in The NFL and the worst pass defense in the league. 280 yards and turnovers allowed in Week 10. Mind you, the Bengals didn’t have Tee Higgins for this game. They knew Burrow would lean on Chase – and the Ravens they could do absolutely nothing… Jackson might be the NFL MVP (again, Henry).. the first running back to gain 2,000 yards in a season twice, but this Ravens team isn’t playing in New Orleans in February.

PressBox’s Bo Smolka: “Ja’Marr Chase had the middle of the field to himself on a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 28 in the fourth quarter, but that was just the most obvious and pronounced continuation of a glaring trend for the Ravens at this moment. season: They don’t stop anyone in the middle of the field Early in the game, Joe Burrow looked to throw quick slants or curls on third down as his receivers found open space up the middle.

The Baltimore Sun Personal: “Chase was supposed to be the No. 1 priority. 1, the human embodiment of a skull and crossbones, but there he went, blazing to catch a game-tying 70-yard touchdown pass. He actually did, stopping before the gate. and dancing along it for a few seconds to emphasize how far he was from being covered.. With Bengals No. 2 wide receiver Tee Higgins sidelined by a quadriceps injury, he existed in really only one player from Cincinnati who could have devastated the Ravens. And he devastated Chase, catching 11 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns.”
