Baltimore Ravens fans are excited for the NFL opener against the Kansas City Chiefs in an AFC Championship Game rematch. They gathered early Thursday morning with playoff energy to join WBAL-TV 11 and “The Today Show” for a pep rally kicking off the NFL season at the Reckless Shepherd Brewery in Columbia. The crowd was electric, so much so, you would have thought the Ravens were playing at home. But nothing could keep fans from coming out for a pep rally to support the team.
Baltimore is dominating the running game on both sides of the ball this season, like few teams the NFL has ever seen.
The Ravens’ offense leads the NFL with an average of 205.3 rushing yards per game. And the Ravens’ defense leads the NFL by allowing an average of 59.0 rushing yards per game. That means the Ravens are out-rushing their opponents by 146.3 yards per game. No other team in the NFL is even out-rushing its opponents by 100 yards a game.
The Ravens are the first team to have at least 150 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown in their first six games of a season since the 1971 Raiders. If the Ravens hit 150 rushing yards and a touchdown on Monday night against the Buccaneers, they’ll be the first team in the Super Bowl era to do it in their first seven games of a season.
Baltimore is averaging 5.9 yards per carry this season, which is the best in the NFL by six-tenths of a yard, and Baltimore’s defense is allowing 3.0 yards per carry this season, which is also the best in the NFL by six-tenths of a yard.
