The Baltimore Ravens feature a new play-caller this year in offensive coordinator Todd Monken, and the leading projections forecast their pass/run mix to tilt 3.2% more towards passing than it did last year (in a neutral context).The Seattle Seahawks defense has been a notorious pass funnel this year, inducing opposing teams to attempt the 6th-most passes in the league (39.0 per game) this year.Gus Edwards has been more involved as a potential pass-catcher this season (30.5% Route Participation Rate in games he has played) than he did last season (9.6%).When talking about air yards, Gus Edwards ranks in the lofty 76th percentile among running backs this year, accumulating a superb 1.0 per game. (considering most of their targets come behind the line of scrimmage, this is far more notable than it appears since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).In regards to protecting the quarterback (and the strong effect it has on all passing game stats), the offensive line of the Ravens profiles as the 6th-best in football this year.
