The Baltimore Ravens boast arguably the most dynamic rushing attack in the NFL today. Four different Ravens players have recorded at least 100 rushing yards this season, including Keaton Mitchell, who tallied a game-high 138 such yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.

Browns cornerback Denzel Ward is set to meet Baltimore’s well-rounded rush offense in Week 10. For the sixth-year defensive back, he believes that the Ravens have the NFL’s "best" run game.

"They got a good run game," Ward said during a press conference ahead of Week 10. "I think they got the best one in the league right now, but just dynamic from all phases, whether that’s Lamar able to run it himself or their multiple running backs that they have and their front line. 

"So, they do a good job of scheming those guys up and getting guys open running lanes and stuff like that."

The last time that Ward squared off with the Gus Edwards-led Ravens rush offense, the unit ended up having its way with ease. Baltimore rushed for 131 yards in its 28-3 win over Cleveland in Week 4. Four different Ravens players logged 20-plus rushing yards in the divisional contest.

Ward is now hoping to help Cleveland’s defense contain Edwards and company in Week 10.

"So, it’s definitely going to be a tough challenge and on top of that just they got their receivers and everything so it should be a good challenge for us," Ward said.

The Ravens lead the NFL in rushing yards per game with a 160.3 average.
