The pass rush has to show up:

If I call your name you must step up in a big way for this game: Matt Judon, Pernell McPhee, Tyus Bowser, Jaylon Ferguson. The pass rush has to be there in this game. Other than the secondary, the pass rush has been the top concern for the purple and black. Last week the Ravens got improved play from Tyus Bowser and he finally notched a sack. Don Martindale needs to hope that Bowser is going to start waking up a bit. The Ravens need more pass rush and Bowser starting to click against the Bengals could be a pre-cursor to him making Russell Wilson have a bad day.

Simply put, if the Ravens allow Wilson to have a clean pocket all day, he’s carving this defense up like a Thanksgiving turkey. That’s just the truth. Wilson has some of the same ability as Jackson in terms of his ability to allude pass rushers. The Ravens need to get there but they also have to be disciplined. It’s a lot to ask from a defense that has a grand total of 11 sacks on the season. The Ravens pass rush isn’t going from non-existent to dominant however it has to get there in a timely fashion in this game. We’re talking about big third downs and red zone chances for the Seahawks, that’s when it has to show up.

The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league. This game isn’t an easy win for the Ravens but it’s possible. This win would mean more to the Ravens season than words can even express. Baltimore has to get a huge day from their quarterback. They need Marcus Peters to show up in his first game with the team. They need the pass rush to show up in a way it hasn’t all year. Things clicking for Bowser and Ferguson could be exactly what the Ravens ordered, but Judon better have a signature moment himself.
