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

ESPN’s Jamison Hensley: “The Ravens’ pass defense, which is the worst in the league, looked like that 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 season, Baltimore has now given up a league-high 28 completions of 25 or more yards.”

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 best in the league last time. Something needs to change in the defensive backfield, but they have Superman at the top of his game at quarterback.”

Baltimore Sun’s Bennett Conlin: “John Harbaugh’s team still has major defensive issues. 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 compete for the AFC North.”

Russell Street Reports Tanner George: “The secondary again struggled mightily, giving up two huge touchdowns to Ja’Marr Chase, who has seemed to have Baltimore’s number for the past few years. Marcus Williams had some up-and-down play, and Brandon Stephens once struggled. On the other hand Marlon Humphrey played off ball and Nate Wiggins had a solid game.”

Bleacher Report Staff: “Once again, the Ravens almost lost (to the Bengals) — because the defense was terrible against the pass. This is not a new problem for the Ravens. Going into Week 10, they had the NFL’s best defense and the league’s worst pass defense. The 280 yards and changes Baltimore allowed through the air going into Week 10, ravaged the Ravens on Thursday night let of 428 yards and four scores Ja’Marr Chase caught three of those scores, and topped 250 receiving yards nothing the ravens could do about it.. Jackson may well be the NFL MVP (again, Henry could be the first to win).. 2,000 rushing yards in a season twice, but that this Ravens team is not 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 conspicuous trend for the Ravens this season: They don’t really stop anyone in the middle of the field Early in the game, Joe Burrow had his way throwing quick slants or curl routes on third down, as his. receivers found open space over the middle.”

Baltimore Sun Staff: “Chase had to be the No. 1 priority, 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 and stopped just before goal line and danced along it for several seconds to emphasize how far he was from being covered.. With Bengals No. 2 wide receiver Tee Higgins sidelined with a quadriceps injury, there was actually only one playmaker from Cincinnati could devastate the Ravens and destroy them the way Chase did, catching 11 passes for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
