Accounting for their underlying traits and game dynamics, the Ravens are expected by the projection model to run 66.7 total plays in this contest: the 6th-highest number among all teams this week.
Opposing teams have averaged 37.5 pass attempts per game vs. the Los Angeles Rams defense this year: 10th-most in the NFL.
As it relates to protecting the quarterback (and the positive impact it has on all air attack stats), the offensive line of the Baltimore Ravens grades out as the 2nd-best in the league this year.
The Rams linebackers rank as the 3rd-worst unit in the league this year in defending receivers.
Favors Under

The projections expect the Ravens as the least pass-heavy offense on the slate this week with a 48.0% pass rate, based on their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.
The Rams defense has given up the 4th-fewest adjusted receiving yards per game in the NFL (just 24.0) to running backs this year.
The Rams pass defense has shown strong efficiency versus running backs this year, conceding 4.13 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the fewest in the NFL.
