The Ravens took care of business in Miami, pulling away from the Dolphins in a 28-6 victory on “Thursday Night Football.”
With Lamar Jackson back following a three-game absence, the Ravens offense looked more like itself. And a large reason for that was the significant contributions from the tight ends.
The Ravens crushed with multiple tight end sets last season when they were the top offense in the NFL. It has taken some time to get that grouping on track after Isaiah Likely missed the first three games with a foot injury, and then Jackson was sidelined by a hamstring injury.
With everybody back in Miami, the tight ends shined once again, hauling in a combined seven catches for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Heading into the night, Baltimore’s tight ends had 33 catches for 276 yards and three scores through seven games.
“To see those guys come alive, and [Jackson] knew they were there, [it was] just a matter of getting them the ball, and we were able to get them the ball on play-action a number of times behind the linebackers, which was big for us,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said.
