Analysis: Ravens vs. Chiefs - The Tactics Table

The ravens is known as one of the most aggressive defenses at all in the NFL when it comes to flashing. Mahomes, however, is basically immune to lightning. This ensured that the Ravens waived almost completely on additional Rusher. Before the break, she sent only once the flash. After the break, they became more aggressive, which Mahomes, however, directly punished - Pringles Touchdown was ultimately the episode of a nickle flash. The Ravens defense put on a so-called Layered Pass Rush. Sceptional for this was the pressure, because Rookie Odafe Oweh generated before Mahomes interception. After the 3-man rush from the front, Oweh came from his EDGE position to a certain extent with delay in the middle to Mahomes. The idea behind it is that Mahomes is usually the most difficult damage with its second step forward within the Pocket. Accordingly, it makes sense to make pressure only when applying for the second forward step. The Chiefs had good achievements against the pass, but on the ground they did hard with the read options and runs to RPOS. This was also because the offensive line of the Ravens managed to close the edges or to direct the defense to the wrong track with misdirections. Also, it was never foreseeable from where exactly one blocker was grilled.

The ravens had to do without the injured Left Tackle Ronnie Stanley. As a result, new access Alejandro Villanueava moved from Right Tackle to the left side - a role he had been wearing at Pittsburgh Steelers for years. On the right side, Patrick Mekari, who was still active as a center in the previous year. As for personnel, the Ravens actually played through in the sub-package, which allowed the Chiefs of the more often to achieve space gain on the ground. In addition, they often operated with shorter passports and screens. The main focus of the Defense was meanwhile on Tyreek Hill, which was mostly covered with Safety Help twice. But that also left the middle distance and the center of the field open to the other receivers.
