Baltimore Ravens vs Atlanta Falcons Game Preview

Baltimore ranks first in the league in both early down success and explosive pass rate, and 94th in explosive run rate, making their offense one of the most explosive in the NFL. Their points per drive sits at the 78th percentile. The structural anomaly in Baltimore's profile is third down conversion at the 19th percentile, suggesting an offense that generates big plays on early downs but struggles when drive maintenance is required. Atlanta's redzone touchdown rate ranks 91st and their run game is strong (73rd pctl), but they have scored at only the 17th percentile in points per drive.

Atlanta plays at a 73rd percentile pace against Baltimore's 41st. Neither pass rush is among the elite: Baltimore ranks 31st, Atlanta 19th. Both offenses feature a disconnect between their play-generation traits and their actual scoring output, which makes this a less predictable game than the headline offensive numbers might suggest.

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

Baltimore Ravens vs Atlanta Falcons Key Insights

  • Baltimore's explosive passing attack (100th pctl) against an Atlanta defense with a below-average pass rush (19th pctl), the Ravens' biggest play-making unit against the Falcons' most exploitable defensive trait
  • Atlanta's redzone conversion rate (91st pctl) against a Baltimore defense with moderate turnover generation (56th pctl), the Falcons finish drives when they get there, but getting there has been the challenge
  • The third down conversion problem for both offenses: Baltimore ranks 19th, Atlanta 28th, how each unit navigates third and medium situations will determine whether their scoring reflects their explosive play numbers
