Arian Foster will break the Ravens’ run defense streak
The Baltimore Ravens have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 24 games as mentioned by the team’s website. That’s an impressive streak that has no prayer of standing against the Texans. Arian Foster has averaged at least 4.5 yards per carry in each of his last three games against the Ravens, as he’s the kind of big, decisive back the Ravens tend to struggle with.
Without Haloti Ngata, the Ravens’ run defense looked very vulnerable against the Jaguars. If Toby Gerhart can average 4.2 yards per carry against the Ravens, what can Arian Foster do? Scary to think about. Stopping him needs to be the Ravens’ top priority. I’m not sure they can get it done.
