Offensive Line

The offensive line was fantastic from start to finish. One man in particular who stood out is center Jeremy Zuttah, whom the Ravens acquired from Tampa Bay in the offseason. He has looked extremely comfortable and hasn’t allowed anyone to apply pressure on Flacco. That is something that the Ravens didn’t have last year with Gino Gradkowski, who was atrocious.

The other offensive lineman looked good as well, in the run game but in the pass game particularly. After allowing three sacks to the Bengals last week, they gave up zero last night against the Steelers defense.

They also paved the way for some nice runs, through all sides of the offensive line. Whether it was through the left side, right side or the middle, the backs were able to find holes. Let’s just hope that the line continues to gel as time goes on.

Grade: A+
