NFL Research: Ja’Marr Chase’s 431 yards receiving this season versus the Ravens are the most ever for one player against a single opponent in a season, topping Art Powell’s 428 yards for the Raiders versus the Oilers in 1963.

ESPN’s Jamison Hensley: “The Ravens’ pass defense, which is the worst in the league, looked like it in the second half, when Baltimore was without All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle). The Ravens allowed touchdown passes of 67 and 70 yards to wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. For the season, Baltimore has now given up a league-high 28 completions of 25 or more yards.”

The Baltimore Sun’s Tim Schwartz: “This offense is dominant right now. If the defense (and, uh, special teams) can be even league average, this is going to be a tough team to beat. But their ceiling is so high because this defense was the league’s best last year. Something needs to change in the defensive backfield, but they have Superman at the top of his game playing quarterback.”

The Baltimore Sun’s Bennett Conlin: “John Harbaugh’s team still has major defensive woes. An injury to Kyle Hamilton depletes the weak secondary — the Ravens need him back healthy as quickly as possible. Until the pass defense improves, Baltimore will rely on its offense to win games. Through 10 games, that strategy seems good enough to at least contend for the AFC North.”

Russell Street Report’s Tanner George: “The secondary once again struggled mightily, giving up two huge touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase, who’s seemed to have Baltimore’s number in recent years. Marcus Williams had a bit of an up-and-down game, and Brandon Stephens once had some problems in coverage. On the other hand, Marlon Humphrey played lights-out ball and Nate Wiggins had a solid game.”

Bleacher Report Staff: “Once again, the Ravens almost lost [to the Bengals]—because the defense was awful against the pass. This is not a new problem for the Ravens. Entering Week 10, they had the NFL’s best run defense and the league’s worst pass defense. The 280 yards and change Baltimore allowed through the air entering Week 10 is going up. Joe Burrow ravaged the Ravens Thursday night to the tune of 428 yards and four scores. Ja’Marr Chase caught three of those scores, topping 250 receiving yards. Mind you, the Bengals didn’t have Tee Higgins for this game. They knew Burrow would lean on Chase—and there was absolutely nothing the Ravens could do about it… Jackson may well be the NFL’s MVP (again). Henry could be the first running back to gain 2,000 rushing yards in a season twice. But this Ravens team isn’t playing in New Orleans in February. Not with a non-existent secondary.”

PressBox’s Bo Smolka: “Ja’Marr Chase had the middle of the field all to himself on a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied the game at 28 in the fourth quarter, but that was just the most obvious and pronounced continuation of a glaring trend for the Ravens this season: They aren’t really stopping anybody in the middle of the field. Early in the game, Joe Burrow had his way tossing quick slants or curl routes on third down, as his receivers found open space across the middle.”

The Baltimore Sun Staff: “Chase had to be priority No. 1, the human embodiment of a skull and crossbones, but there he went, blazing free to catch a 70-yard touchdown pass that tied the game. He even rubbed it in, stopping short of the goal line and dancing along it for several seconds to emphasize just how far he was from being covered… With the Bengals’ No. 2 wide receiver, Tee Higgins, sidelined by a quadriceps injury, there was really only one Cincinnati playmaker who could devastate the Ravens. And devastate them Chase did, catching 11 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns.”
