Running Backs:

RUNNING BACKS. B. The fumble of Alex Collins pulls the running back grade down a bit. His fumble made the Ravens have to work harder to close out the game. However all the Ravens running backs made big plays, Collins included. Buck Allen stole the show. He had 66 yards on 14 carries. He also had five receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown. If I had one complaint, it would be not leaning on Allen more. He clearly had the hot hand. West had the least amount of success. He averaged less than 2.7 yards per carry, but he did have a 12 yard rush and a 15 yard reception. Overall the running backs made a huge impact. They got the job done on the ground totaling 136 rushing yards. They contributed 58 yards in the receiving game as well. This is the kind of work the Ravens need to get out of their backs, they just have to eliminate the fumbling.. West, Allen, Collins. Ravens
