Also in these types of situations, why are they the #1 running defense? Because their running defense is so good? Or because their passing defense is so bad that teams don't even try to run it?

I remember in the last two weeks the narrative asking the Baltimore head coach why they went for two point conversion to win or lose the game (which they missed and lost) instead of taking the extra point after touchdown.

Head coach said because they had no more healthy CBs... they were thin entering the game and had a couple injured during the game. And didn't want any more injuries and were sure the defense could hold up should they lose the coin toss.

So the passing game might have a huge day... and they'll run less because of it, and maybe be less effective as well.

Although I don't have any stats to back me up, I just don't feel like they are a very good crew.
Brad Allen and his crew will do the Packers game.
I know nothing about this crew, hopefully they will be a better officiating team.
Although this year all the officiating has been rather shoddy.
