Ravens must be prepared for Chargers WR Keenan Allen

The Baltimore Ravens will need to have an answer for Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen in Week 12. Allen scorched the Green Bay Packers for 10 receptions and 116 yards last weekend and will be looking for more success today.

Ravens’ defensive back Marlon Humphrey has been playing with a nagging injury over the last three weeks and is marked as questionable for today’s matchup. Whether Humphrey suits or not, the Ravens would be wise to double-team Allen with help coverage over the top. While the Ravens do rank No. 3 in pass yards allowed per game, a few blowout victories make their game averages skewed in this category.

Certainly, the strength of the Ravens’ defense lies in its disruptive pass rush and ability to stop the run.

On the road today, they must be prepared for Chargers head coach Brandon Staley and offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to air the ball out. The Ravens do not want this game to become a shootout.
