Ja’Marr Chase was the receiver who hurt Baltimore the most in Week 5 (10 catches, 193 yards, two touchdowns), showcasing his explosive run-after-catch ability on a 70-yard touchdown play.
Tee Higgins, who also had a big day against the Ravens last month (nine catches, 83 yards, two touchdowns), did not practice Monday or Tuesday, putting his availability for Thursday night in question.
However, the Ravens should also be wary of Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki, who had two touchdown catches and 100 yards receiving against the Raiders. Burrow has great confidence in his accuracy and often places throws where his receivers can play the ball even when it is covered. It will be important for the Ravens to win battles for the football as Burrow throws into tight windows.
“Last game there were a lot of contested catches, and it seemed like they were getting a lot of them,” Humphrey said. “You know what you get with Joe. He’s an elite quarterback, so it’s always a tough challenge.”
Humphrey is happy to get another chance at Cincinnati, a chance to show that Baltimore’s pass defense is really moving in the right direction. Burrow can take advantage of even the slightest mistake in coverage, but Humphrey believes the Ravens’ pass defense is becoming more cohesive.
“We just have to keep paying attention to the details,” Humphrey said. “We have to do it exactly the way we’re coached, exactly the way we do it in practice, to make it work in the game. We can’t practice it this way all week – coach it this way – and then in the game, and it’s not exactly how you just practiced it.
“So often this year there’s one guy not exactly where he’s supposed to be, and that’s where he was hit. It’s those little, little details that have made everyone tighten their approach, tighten their mentality… .It makes you concentrate, and that’s what we need.”
