Baltimore has struggled with opposing quarterbacks all year, allowing 274 passing yards per game (second-worst), a 66.7 completion percentage (fourth-worst) and a 97.4 quarterback rating (eighth-worst). And it has only gotten worse since they lost their top cornerback Jimmy Smith for the season in Week 8.
While there's no denying the Ravens and Jets have similar defenses, that's about where the comparisons end.
Baltimore has a far better offense that ranks sixth in the league in points per game (27.3).
The Dolphins won't get by with 16 points this week like against the Jets last week.
The Ravens are a team that has a tendency to give up big plays...allowing the 8th most 20-plus-yard passing plays in the league with 44 and the while you may think the opportunities will be there for Tannehill to try to take some deep shots....THINK AGAIN.
Tannehill CANNOT throw the ball more than 20 yards...He ranks 40th in the NFL QB's and that's DEAD LAST. Don't dream that TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT. He just does not have the capability...PERIOD.
See Mike Wallace clearly breaks away from the defender....This takes place weekly several times a game.
On passes that traveled 20 yards or more downfield, Tannehill has completed 8 of 36 attempts with three drops, giving him an accuracy percentage of 22.2, which ranks 40th out of 40 active NFL QB's.
