There are not many defenses in the NFL today that boast an array of playmakers across the board like the Baltimore Ravens do. This is a Ravens defense that has a defensive tackle in Justin Madubuike who leads the team in sacks with 6.5 and a former seventh-round pick in Geno Stone who has hauled in a league-leading five interceptions.
For Jadeveon Clowney, the multitude of game-changing playmakers on Baltimore’s defense have been a key reason why the team has continued to enjoy much success on this side of the ball.
"Everybody is out there making plays," Clowney said ahead of Week 9. "I believe anybody on our defense can make a play [at] any time, and that goes from the D-line all the way to the safety position, corner position — everybody.
"Like I said, the way they practice is the way they play. Those guys come to practice every day. Nobody is taking days off at practice, and it's showing in the game."
On Clowney’s part, he has also helped to add another dimension to Baltimore’s well-rounded defensive unit. He is one of five players on the team who have tallied at least 3.0 sacks this season.
The Ravens, who have logged at least one takeaway in their last five games and also lead the NFL in sacks with 31, will be in for quite a test against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Seattle has turned the ball over a mere eight times this season and quarterback Geno Smith has been sacked just 14 times.
