Baltimore Ravens vs. Miami Dolphins: Projecting 3 top performers

3. Mark Ingram:

Mark Ingram has a game in front of him that could be tailor made to him. Last year the Dolphins gave up 4.8 yards per running play. It doesn’t look like the defense got any better heading into the 2019 season. Ingram should be able to run wild in this game. It should be a perfect start to his tenure with the Ravens. The Ravens will get all three of their running backs involved, however Ingram will get the first crack. He will get things off to a fast start.

Expect Ingram to have 100 rushing yards on the day and to catch a pass or two from Jackson. When you look at the box score on Monday, it should show that Ingram dominated the Dolphins. Ingram has a downhill style of running and the ability to make big plays. He may be able to break out two or three runs over 20 yards. The Ravens brought him in to turn their powerful running game into an explosive one.

The Ravens should be looking at win number one here. They just have to come in and send a statement early and often. That’s what Ingram should be able to accomplish as the starting running back. He needs to show the Dolphins that they aren’t going to slow him or his teammates down.
