As the NFL season roars onward, the Baltimore Ravens have emerged as a force to be reckoned with, earning praise from ESPN analyst Todd McShay. Calling them the “most complete, most dominant football team” in the league, McShay set the stage for a mouthwatering showdown between the Ravens and the mighty Kansas City Chiefs.
The Ravens’ completeness is underscored by their depth, versatility, strength, toughness, and discipline, particularly along the defensive front seven. McShay emphasizes the critical role of front-seven defense in today’s NFL, emphasizing the need to apply pressure on elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes.

Baltimore’s defensive prowess extends beyond star linebackers such as Roquan Smith and Patrick Queen. McShay singles out players like Justin Madabuike, Jadeveon Clowney, and Kyle Van Noy for their versatile roles and contributions to the team’s defensive success.
As the Ravens prepare for a showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs, McShay sees their well-rounded team as a significant advantage. The Ravens’ ability to disrupt Mahomes, take him off his spot, and apply constant pressure aligns with their defensive strengths.
