Joe Flacco is averaging 264 yards passing this season, which is 79 yards more per game than he averaged during his rookie season. He has 12 touchdowns this season, which is two shy of his total in 16 games last season. Pretty impressive considering the expected “sophomore slump”. Here’s hoping Flacco can keep it up, and just not experience the slump.

Through 6 games this season, Ray Rice has proven to be a beast for the Ravens. Take a look at the numbers.

1st in the league in total yards with 766 – more than 127 per game.

9th in the league in rush yards with 441 – and one of only three in the top 10 with more than 6.0 ypc, one of only 2 in the top 10 with no fumbles.

1st in the league in receiving yards by a RB with 325.

And all this despite averaging fewer than 18 touches per game. 18! In fact, in three games this season he hasn’t even touched the ball 16 times total.

So what’s it going to be… Ray Rice’s nickname?

Are you more impressed with the Ravens offense or more worried about the Ravens defense through their first two games?

The numbers…

Ravens Offense: 2nd in total points, 3rd in total yards, 13th in pass yards, 4th in rush yards, 1st in first downs, 3rd in time of possession

Ravens Defense: 23rd in total points, 17th in total yards, 2th in pass yards, 1st in rush yards, 4th in first downs

Also worth noting… All of the Ravens points this season have been scored by the offense – no defensive TDs to pad that stat so far!
