Offense
Lamar Jackson and the starting offense line all played 100% of snaps against the Vikings. Zay Flowers (83%) and Rashod Bateman (61%) again dominated wide receiver playing time. Flowers again led the team in receiving with 75 yards on only four catches, while Bateman had one lone catch for 10 yards. He was downed just a yard short of the goal line and nearly scored.
Deandre Hopkins played 19 snaps in the No. 3 role followed by Tylan Wallace with just eight snaps. LaJohntay Wester received one lone offensive rep again. The Ravens played a lot of heavy formations on offense with tight ends and fullback combinations dominating playing time.
Mark Andrews played 44 snaps, Isaiah Likely played 39 snaps, Pat Ricard played 37 snaps, and Charlie Kolar played 30 snaps. The tight end trio saw 12 combined targets out of Jackson’s 29 throws and caught six passes. Kolar’s 23 receiving yards was good enough to rank second among all pass-catchers.
Derrick Henry also saw a significant workload as well. Henry played 67% of snaps (47) in the backfield, much higher than Justice Hill’s 19 snaps. Hill played 14 more snaps than Keaton Mitchell but saw three less carries. Mitchell’s five snaps resulted in four carries for 31 yards with a 22-yard run, which was the longest of the day for the team.
Defense
In what is now a regular theme, the Ravens deployed three safeties almost exclusively on the field together for nearly the whole game. Alohi Gilman and Kyle Hamilton each went the distance (65 snaps), while Malaki Starks played 63 snaps. Starks reeled in an interception for the second straight week, while the former two each made impact plays in coverage.
Elsewhere in the secondary, Nate Wiggins (98%) sat for just one play and Chidobe Awuzie played an elevated role with 39 snaps as the No. 3 cornerback. Marlon Humphrey, who also had an interception, played 45 snaps but suffered a finger injury in the process. Keyon Martin played 8 snaps towards the end of the game in relief of him.
Roquan Smith played 100% of snaps as usual and recorded a pass breakup, quarterback hit, and interception that was overturned. Teddye Buchanan only saw a 58% snap share but tied with Smith for six tackles. Trenton Simpson’s defensive role remained marginal, as he was on the field for only six plays.
Mike Green played 47 snaps and tied for the team-high in quarterback hits with three. Kyle Van Noy played 46 snaps followed by newcomer Dre’Mont Jones, who played 39 snaps in his first game with the team. Jones had an instant impact with two quarterback hits. Travis Jones, meanwhile, dominated defensive tackle snaps (71%) and stuffed the stat sheet. The other four active defensive linemen all played between 12-20 snaps each.
