Ravens' Offense Downgrading 'D'

5. Can Baltimore solve its late-game defensive woes?

Weird. The Ravens were No. 1 in the NFL on defense a year ago and figured to be just as strong this year. But a week and a half ago they nearly blew a 17-point lead, holding onto beat the Jets only because Justin McCareins dropped two touchdown passes in the closing minutes. Last Sunday, they did blow a 17-point lead but a Matt Stover field goal at the end beat Arizona.

The Ravens pass defense has been struggling. One problem is their offense tends to get conservative when it has the lead, and that puts pressure on the defense. In the fourth quarter of last two games, the Ravens netted 20 yards rushing on 14 carries. Thats not good enough to close out a game.
