Run Defense Deserves Props for Containing Joe Mixon
The pass rush dominated the headlines, but the run defense was equally as impressive shutting down Bengals running back Joe Mixon.
"The Ravens defense entered Sunday's contest ranked seventh in the league with 97.5 rushing yards allowed per game, and this number will only improve after Week 5," Platko wrote. "Mixon mustered just 59 yards on 24 carries, much of which came late in the fourth quarter with the game already out of reach."
Mixon came into Sunday's game with the hot hand. He rushed for 151 yards and found the end zone three times against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but didn't see the same success against an improved front seven.
Mixon averaged just 2.5 yards per carry, and never found a rhythm against the Ravens.
Platko noted that it's three straight solid performances for the run defense after holding the Texans' David Johnson to 34 yards and Chiefs' Clyde Edwards-Helaire to 64 yards.
Russell Street Reports’ Cole Jackson gave the defensive line and linebackers A-minus grades as an improved front seven continues to find its form this season.
"The likes of Calais Campbell, Derek Wolfe, and Patrick Queen were added in the offseason in large part with the hopes that they would improve a run defense that was rather leaky at times in 2019," Platko added. "So far, the early returns have been extremely encouraging."
