Baltimore Ravens Defense Ranked No. 1 In NFL

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The Baltimore Ravens’ defense is now ranked No. 1 in the NFL and the team sits a top the AFC North (5-4).

Thanks to players like Brandon Williams, Michael Pierce Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosley and Eric Weddle, this defense has the potential to become the third-best in team history.

The 2000 Ravens defense is best known for leading the team to a Super Bowl title. The 2006 defense was responsible for pushing the Baltimore Ravens to the highest seed in team history. 

This year, the defense is the reason the Ravens are holding onto first place in the AFC North.

The defense will face the nearly undefeated Cowboys next Sunday, and must focus on neutralizing running back Ezekiel Elliott, who is the fifth player in the history of the NFL, with more than 1,000 rushing yards and more than 250 receiving yards in the first nine games of the season.
