Washington Commanders vs Baltimore Ravens Game Preview

Baltimore's last season ground attack ranked 100th in explosive run rate, and the offense ranked 91st in early down success, while explosive pass rate finished 75th. Washington carried a strong red zone conversion (89th pctl) and a 64th-percentile pass rush into this matchup, but generated turnovers at just the 6th percentile last season.

Both teams operated at a slow pace last season, Baltimore 12th and Washington 17th in plays per minute, pointing toward a low-possession game. The Ravens' red zone touchdown rate ranked just 9th despite their strong run and early-down numbers, a disconnect between yardage production and scoring. Washington's inability to generate turnovers removes a common way to neutralize a run-heavy opponent.

Check back the day before the game for the full preview and picks.

Washington Commanders vs Baltimore Ravens Key Insights

  • Baltimore's explosive run game (100th pctl last season) against Washington's defense, with the Commanders' turnover generation (6th pctl) offering little ability to create takeaways and flip field position
  • Ravens' red zone inefficiency (9th pctl TD rate last season) despite ranking 91st in early down success and 100th in explosive run rate, a conversion gap that cost Baltimore in last season's results
  • Pace: both teams ranked in the bottom 20% in plays per minute last season, suggesting a game with fewer total possessions where each drive carries added weight
