In week 11, the Ravens turned to Lamar Jackson, and responded with one of the most run-heavy games in recent memory. Baltimore rushed a whopping 54 times, the most in a non-overtime game since 2014. Jackson himself was responsible for half of those carries, 5 more than any player with at least five pass attempts in a game since 1950.
Not surprisingly, the Ravens dominated time of possession in this game, holding the ball for over 38 minutes. Jackson was an effective enough passer: he picked up a first down on 7 of 21 dropbacks, which is league average. We’ll see if this strategy can work for Baltimore once again — a quarterback running 15 times a week feels unsustainable, let alone 27 — but it certainly makes the Ravens more interesting.
Arizona and Jacksonville were your most run-heavy teams of the week. Leonard Fournette had 28 carries for the Jaguars, and the team rushed on 35.8% of all plays. For the Cardinals, David Johnson had 25 carries, and Arizona had just 21 dropbacks, despite trailing for much of the second half.

The Rams, Packers, Steelers were the most pass-happy teams of the week. Jared Goff had 54 dropbacks despite playing with a strong +4.4 Game Script. Pittsburgh passed on 82% of plays, which reflects the negative Game Script but still stands out as remarkable for a winning team. In fact, winning teams have only passed on 81% of plays or more just 7 times since 1960, with the Steelers being the last two examples. As for the Packers, they had a Game Script of +4.3 but still passed on 73% of plays.
