Todd Monken just cooked up a play so nasty it would make all of Philly blush

The Baltimore Ravens snuck out of Week 11 with a 23-16 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. It was an ugly performance, but the Ravens fought through their countless miscues, improving to 5-5.

Despite the ugly showing, Baltimore’s offense found a way to set off some fireworks late. With the game tied 16-16 late in the fourth quarter, they finally broke through and made Cleveland’s elite defense look silly.

Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken dialed up a play many have seen before. It appeared they were going to run the polarizing ‘Tush Push’ play that the Philadelphia Eagles have made infamous, using tight end Mark Andrews under center as they have since they added the play to their playbook.

However, Monken ran a play no one saw coming, and it would make the city of Philadelphia blush. Instead, Andrews rolled out to his right, taking it for a 35-yard score that would put Baltimore up for the first time since the first quarter.

They call the play 'Hurricane,' and it worked to perfection.

Ravens’ fake tush push might be the craziest play of the year

The Ravens have tried their version of the ‘Tush Push’ this season with Andrews pushing up the middle, and it has not worked too well. They have failed to find consistent success with it, and clearly, no team can do it quite like the Eagles. Now, they are baiting defenses into stacking up the middle of the line, just to make a play on the outside.

They succeeded on a similar play last week in their win over the Minnesota Vikings, where Andrews lined up under center, but he would eventually toss it to quarterback Lamar Jackson, who ran it around the edge for a first down.

Many teams tried to ban the ‘Tush Push’ this past offseason, but the vote eventually failed. The Ravens were one of the teams that voted against the ban, and the play, or at least the fear of the successful play, is paying off for them in a big way.

Baltimore’s offense has struggled in the red zone significantly this year, but Monken continues to showcase his offensive genius on occasions like the one late in the fourth quarter on Sunday. The game in Cleveland was another struggle, but if they pull off plays like those that lead to wins, it will not have too many people complaining.
