Jeers: The Ravens forget how to tackle a 30 year old running back

That doesn’t give the Ravens normally stout run defense a pass for forgetting how to tackle Johnson on the aforementioned 62 yard scamper, nor on his 26 yard touchdown run that was an embarrassing clinic on how not to tackle.
Johnson spun off defenders like a pinball and made the entire defense look silly. He also became only the second player to go over 100 yards rushing against this team in the 2015 season, doing it on only 18 carries and in 3 quarters of play.
