However, the Ravens know there will be times this season when their passing attack needs to take the lead, especially when they are trailing in the second half. Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews, who has been an effective blocker all season, has gone two straight games without a catch for the first time in his career. Tight end Isaiah likely has four catches for 56 yards in the past three games after exploding for nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Kansas City.

Head Coach John Harbaugh said before the season that the production of Baltimore’s playmakers could vary greatly from week to week, and that was true. With so many playmakers to spread the ball around to, the players understand that getting wins is more important than getting stats.

“Sometimes you might not get the ball, but we have all these great guys on our offense that help us win games, including Mark,” Jackson said. “Mark plays a big role for us just doing what he does: blocking, running routes, rushing guys and finding other guys to be open. He’s just a team player right now.”

Monken said he is fully aware of how harshly the pundits criticize the Ravens’ offense, with opinions varying widely from week to week.

“It drives you crazy listening to that,” Monken said. “Two weeks ago we were (according to sports talk shows) the worst team, and terrible.”

Monks have given birth more often in the past two weeks. The Ravens appear to be on their way offensively and are prepared to counter if the defense focuses more on preventing Henry from dominating.

“Have we been cleaner? Yes,” Monken said. “Did we run the ball better? Yes.

“Ultimately, we have to stay true to what we believe in. Whether we throw it or run it, the best we can do is strive to be as consistent as possible. in all facets of our offense.”
