Now is a great time to look at some Baltimore Ravens stats. After a week six victory that saw the team pad their stats both individually and collectively, things are looking pretty good on paper right now. We though it would be fun to take a look at where the Ravens stand in comparison to the rest of the NFL. All statistics have been pulled from Pro Football Focus.

Baltimore Ravens collective team stats

Offense

Overall: 2nd
Passing offense: 14th
Rushing offense: 12th
Pass blocking: 6th
Run blocking: 2nd
Penalties: 2nd

It’s surprising that the Ravens rank second overall in offense, but perhaps not as surprising after last week’s blowup. PFF uses a ranking system that goes beyond simply counting yards gained, as most do. Their system takes into account all of the categories listed above, which means that the Raven’s dominant offensive line performance catapults them to the top.

It’s also nice to see the team rank so high in penalties. This is a sign of a truly disciplined unit, especially in light of the changes that have taken place in offensive play calling. It’s a testament to the offensive line in particular.

Defense

Overall: 5th
Run Defense: 8th
Pass Rush: 1st
Pass Coverage: 21st
Penalty: 14th

The defense is playing at a high level in regards to creating pressure, and this rating reflects that. Obviously the number is inflated after the sack fest that occurred against the Bucs. Run defense has slipped a little but is still impressive. Unfortunately, penalties have been a bit of an issue, and pass coverage has been a big issue. The return of Lardarius Webb and Will Hill should help a lot.

Special Teams: 5th

This unit is good every year, and this season is no exception.
