NFL Power Rankings: 1. Baltimore Ravens

2022 rushing yards rank: 2nd
2022 yards per carry rank: 3rd

Baltimore’s three main rushers (Lamar Jackson, J.K. Dobbins, and Gus Edwards) missed a combined 22 games last season. Still, the Ravens managed to record the second-most rushing yards in the NFL (2,720). That’s how good this rushing attack is.

Since 2018, Jackson (6.1) and Dobbins (5.9) are second and third, respectively, in yards per carry (minimum 200 carries). Edwards is not far behind; his 5.2 yards per carry is the fifth-highest among running backs during that span.

That success has translated at the team level. Since 2018, the Ravens lead the NFL with 14,007 rushing yards, which is 2,535 yards higher than the second-place Titans.

The playmakers are not solely responsible for the Ravens’ success, either. They led the league in run block win rate in 2022.

With the core of Jackson, Dobbins, and Edwards returning, the Ravens are well-positioned to reclaim the top spot in 2023.
