Neither does Baltimore, but here is the interesting fact- they let up 5 yards a carry to Ray Rice, and over 4 yards a carry to Baltimore. The only reason they did not gauge them is because Baltimore had to play catch up. The Ravens do not have a great passing attack either, and they still put yards together on the ground. I think our run game could be the difference. Anyway I have been saying this all week, but found the stats from the Ravens game interesting, because the media paints one picture, and I am not sure it is accurate.
Agree with everyone that stats don't mean anything. Jets and Ravens have great rushing "averages' because they can't throw. Yes, Indy held them below those "averages".
Someone should look to see if Balt and the Jets were over their passing "averages" in those games. Won't be me; I don't care.
