2. The Baltimore Ravens need extra help for Aidan Hutchinson

The number two overall pick from the 2023 NFL draft is starting to become the elite player that so many knew he could be. According to PFF, Aidan Hutchinson has 36 pressures this season, which is third behind Micah Parsons and Maxx Crosby. What is so impressive is seeing that he also has a key interception and a forced fumble. He has made game-changing plays this season.

The Lions have a nice rotation up front, but they lean heavily on Hutchinson. Their second edge rusher, John Cominsky has 19 pressures. Cominsky and the next rusher, Charles Harris, combine for the 36 that Aidan Hutchinson has.

The interior is more built to defend the run. When it comes to pass rush, the Lions tend to live and die on Hutchinson. Right now, they are living. Hutchinson has squared off with a few well-known right tackles as well. Morgan Moses will be one of the better linemen he has faced, but not the best. This will be a duel for both of them.

The Ravens have been trying to get Isaiah Likely and Patrick Ricard on the field a little more to help the offensive line, and if they are, they will be on the side of Hutchinson. Whoever sees Harris or Cominsky will be on the island in this game.
