Chase: A Ravens Kryptonite on the Field
13 Dec
Summary
- Chase averages 119.1 yards against the Ravens.
- He has the most receiving yards against Baltimore since 2008.
- Ravens aim to limit his yards after catch and deep routes.

The Baltimore Ravens' defense is gearing up for a significant challenge as they prepare to face Ja'Marr Chase and the Bengals. Coach John Harbaugh acknowledged Chase's talent, noting his remarkable success against the Ravens throughout his career. Since 2008, Chase has averaged 119.1 receiving yards in nine games against Baltimore, a record for any player with at least five contests against the team.
Chase's ability to gain yards after the catch and his downfield speed have been particularly problematic for the Ravens. He has accumulated 494 yards after the catch against them, more than any other player in the last 25 years. In the previous season, Chase recorded 457 receiving yards in two games against Baltimore, setting an NFL record for most yards against a single opponent in one season.
The Ravens' defensive coordinator, Zach Orr, highlighted the team's focus on preventing Chase from breaking tackles on short routes and exploding for long gains. While acknowledging past struggles, Orr noted improvements in limiting yards after the catch during their Thanksgiving night encounter. The defense is determined to execute their coverage assignments better, particularly on deep routes, to contain Chase's game-breaking potential.
