NFL ResearchJa’Marr Chase’s 431 yards receiving against the Ravens this season are the most ever for one player against one opponent in a season, surpassing Art Powell’s 428 yards for the Raiders versus the Oilers in 1963.

ESPNs Jamison Hensley: “The Ravens’ pass defense, the worst in the league, looked like this in the second half, when Baltimore was without All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle). The Ravens allowed touchdown passes of 67 and 70 yards to the wideout receiver Ja’Marr Chase. For the season, Baltimore has now given up 28 completions of 25 or more yards.”

The Baltimore Sun Tim Schwartz: “This offense is dominant right now. If the defense (and special teams) can reach even league average, this will be a tough team to beat. But their ceiling is so high because this defense is the league’s best last was.” Something needs to change in the defensive backfield, but they have Superman at the top of his game at quarterback.”

Bennett Conlin of the Baltimore Sun: “John Harbaugh’s team still has major defensive issues. An injury to Kyle Hamilton depletes weak secondary players – the Ravens need him healthy again as soon as possible. Until the pass defense improves, Baltimore will rely on its offense to win games. “That strategy seems good enough to at least compete for AFC North.”

Tanner George of Russell Street Report: “The secondary struggled again, giving up two huge touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase, who seemed to have Baltimore’s number in recent years. Marcus Williams had a bit of an up-and-down game, and Brandon Stephens had some issues in coverage at some point On the other end, Marlon Humphrey played some luminous ball and Nate Wiggins had a solid game.

Bleacher Report Staff: “Once again, the Ravens almost lost (to the Bengals) – because the defense was terrible against the pass. This is not a new problem for the Ravens. Entering Week 10, they had the NFL’s best run defense and the worst pass defense in the league. The 280 yards and turnovers that Baltimore allowed through the air during Week 10 are going up. Mind you, the Bengals didn’t have Tee Higgins for this game. They knew Burrow would lean on Chase – and the Ravens absolutely couldn’t help it…Jackson might be the NFL’s MVP (again).I’m the first running back to gain 2,000 rushing yards in a season twice. But this Ravens team isn’t playing in February in New Orleans. Not with a non-existent secondary.

Bo Smolka from PressBox: “Ja’Marr Chase had the middle of the field all to himself with a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 28 in the fourth quarter, but that was just the most obvious and pronounced continuation of a striking trend for the Ravens this season: They’re not really stopping anyone in the middle of the field. Early in the game, Joe Burrow had his way throwing quick slants or curl routes on third down with his receivers running into open space. found the middle.

The Baltimore Sun staff: “Chase was supposed to be priority No. 1, the human embodiment of a skull and crossbones, but there he went, bursting loose to catch a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied the game. He even rubbed it in and just stopped in front of the goal line and danced along it for several seconds to emphasize how far he was from coverage… With the Bengals’ No. 2 wide receiver, Tee Higgins, sidelined by a quadriceps injury, there was really only one playmaker from Cincinnati who could devastate the Ravens. And she destroyed Chase, catching 11 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns.”
