So, basically, I decided that my normal stats overview wouldn’t be enough for this game. If this is a show-me game for the Packers, I ought to put in my best effort as well. Through the lens of Football Outsiders, the matchup is a unique one for the Packers on both sides of the ball. Instead of taking you to FO, I’ve decided to bring the stats to you. I warn you that this post is not for the faint of heart – if you are anti-math, I understand if you don’t read further. Numbers, ahoy!
Welcome to another edition of Opposition Research, where I’ll be taking a look at the Packers primetime opponent, the Baltimore Ravens. Aaron and Corey covered a lot of ground during last night’s interviews with Ravens experts Chris Pika and John Eisenberg, so make sure you watch the show first.
