B+. The Ravens offensive line had a good game. Flacco was only sacked twice against a pass rush that came into the game highly touted. Von Miller, who is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL, had no sacks and very little impact on the final result. The Ravens offensive line exceeded expectations and it was a crucial part of the winning formula. The run game still struggled so it’s hard to go to a full A. The Ravens looked much more stable up front than they did against the Bengals. It was a rebound game for the unit. This time the offensive line did the bullying, instead of getting bullied.. Group. Grade. OFFENSIVE LINE

The defensive line got off to a slow start, but once it got rolling, the Broncos couldn’t do much of anything. It was nice to see strong performances by Zach Sieler and Chris Wormley. Brandon Williams looked much more like himself than he did against the Bengals. The Broncos were held without a point for three quarters of this game partially because the purple and black owned the line of scrimmage. The Broncos offensive attack makes life hard on the defensive line. Gary Kubiak may not be the offensive coordinator, but you can tell his fingerprints are on the offense. The stamina of the offensive line against the Broncos creative run game was the most exciting thing to see.. Group. Grade. DEFENSIVE LINE. B+
