Ravens leading NFL in sacks thanks to team approach: ‘All 11 of us, trying to be selfless’

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Ravens vs. Jaguars on Sunday Night Football Baltimore Ravens inside linebacker Patrick Queen had what NFL defensive players dream about: a full head of steam and an open runway to the quarterback. “He’s trying to set his teammate up.” How does a team that didn’t have a single defensive player with a double-digit-sack season on their resume suddenly lead the league in that category? This guy made a great play, but he was able to make a play because these three guys are doing a great job setting this guy up for success.’ That’s definitely something that we’ve stressed, but credit to the guys buying in.” With five games to go, starting Sunday against a Los Angeles Rams team that has surrendered only 22 sacks all season, the Ravens are on pace to finish with 67 sacks, which would comfortably eclipse a franchise record. “Of course, you’re going to always be evaluated because you were the top overall pick, but the dude right now is as good as any rusher in the league,” Smith said. “He’s a game wrecker.” Kyle Van Noy’s six sacks put him just one away from setting a career high.
