Five stats prove why the Ravens’ offense is dangerous entering Week 4

1. Through three games, the Ravens' offense demonstrates more than just their scoring average, as they enter Sunday's game against Tennessee with a significant edge. Their average of 6.7 yards per play and 5.2 yards per rushing attempt, coupled with 15 plays gaining 20 yards or more, contribute to their impressive start of 2-1.

2. The Ravens' offensive efficiency is highlighted by their 65.1% first-down efficiency and 56.2% successful-play rate, indicating a consistent ability to set up drives and maintain momentum.

3. These statistics emphasize how Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry contribute to the offense before Baltimore reaches a scoring opportunity. Explosive early-down plays minimize the distance needed on subsequent snaps, while powerful gains allow the Ravens to alter field position without extending a possession.

4. The rushing efficiency plays a crucial role, enabling Baltimore to create manageable situations on the ground while still attacking downfield. This strategy forces Tennessee to prepare for multiple ways the Ravens can advance the football.

5. However, while the Ravens' explosiveness is notable, it does not fully compensate for their execution issues. They have only converted 10 of 27 third-down opportunities, resulting in a 37% success rate despite their overall strong performance.

6. This deficiency becomes particularly relevant against Tennessee. While big plays can swiftly advance a scoring drive, Baltimore must also focus on extending possessions when explosive gains are not available.

7. Bridging the gap between their early-down efficiency and third-down execution would provide the Ravens with a more complete offensive performance as they aim for their first home victory in the upcoming game.
