3. The Ravens must be better at covering tight ends

The Ravens have played against Darren Waller and Travis Kelce. Those two are arguably two of the top-three tight ends in the NFL.

The Ravens understandably had trouble dealing with them. Waller was targeted 19 times against them and caught 10 passes for 105 yards. He also scored a touchdown.

Kelce also was a handful catching seven passes for 109 yards and scoring a touchdown. He made their defense look silly on his 46-yard touchdown run.

Although these were top of the top-three tight ends in the league, the Ravens have historically had problems with guarding tight ends.

This week, they will have to deal with T.J. Hockenson — a young star at the tight end position.
