Ravens vs. Bills: It’s not rocket-science, feed the ball to Derrick Henry

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry barely broke a sweat carving up the Dallas Cowboys defense in week 3. The Ravens would be wise to get Henry 25 carries versus the Buffalo Bills.



Unlike the Ravens, the Bills have started the 2024 season undefeated. Bills quarterback Josh Allen has excelled by being very decisive with his throws> Allen has also benefited from a steady ground attack led by teammate James Cook,

Allen and company will try to keep the ball away from the Ravens’ offense by having extended drives. The Ravens must, therefore, counter this strategy by establishing the run and keeping Allen off the field.

Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken cannot get distracted by the hype of this game. Keeping quarterback Lamar Jackson to around 23-28 pass attempts will be more than enough to sequence in Henry.

If Monken gets away from feeding Henry and the offense stalls out too frequently, the Ravens’ defense will be at the mercy of Allen’s legs and arm.

Feeding Henry should be the target on offense, that is until a defense proves an ability to stop him consistently.
