Ravens land in the middle of the pack in a ranking of all 32 NFL offensive lines

We certainly have to throw the challenge flag on this one.
For most of us, the dream of climbing the NFL ladder and joining the Baltimore Ravens probably ended at high school's conclusion. Sure, we all were good. We just weren't that good, but we still know what good football looks like.
Much is expected of John Harbaugh and company. They accomplished much during the 2024-25 campaign and followed that up with a productive spring and summer. Once last season's Pro Bowl roster was announced, the Ravens saw 11 of their players voted on as members. Two (Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Linderbaum) played on their offensive line.
Pro Football Focus, one of the game's favorite destinations for statistical data, recently ranked every NFL team's offensive line. The Ravens landed in the middle of the pack, which is a head-scratcher. A 17th-place finish, one stacking them almost halfway down the list, doesn't seem to reflect the results we saw from Baltimore's offense.
Zoltán Buday is the writer of this one. Here's what he said on the subject:
"The Ravens' offensive line was a significant concern going into the 2024 season, but the group defied expectations while protecting quarterback Lamar Jackson and opening lanes for running back Derrick Henry. Baltimore re-signed left tackle Ronnie Stanley in free agency, and while he is not the player he once was, his 80.9 PFF pass-blocking grade in 2024 was a reminder of his previous form. Tyler Linderbaum is already among the best centers in the league, especially in run blocking. However, the other three positions might cause problems for Baltimore's offense."
That still doesn't seem to justify a ranking of 17. Everyone mentioned was phenomenal last season. PFF spends tons of time gathering data and releasing its stats, but the eyeball test never fails. It's tried and true. It has always worked. It always will. Here's what ours told us last season.
Baltimore's offensive line helped spring Derrick Henry for 1,921 yards on the ground. He led all NFL rushers with 16 touchdowns. For his efforts, he earned Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro honors. The Ravens' offensive front had a lot to do with that.
Lamar Jackson, also a Pro Bowler and All-Pro (first team), eclipsed 4,000 yards passing and tossed 41 TDs. He ran for an additional 915 yards and four TDs. Again, the O-line has a lot to do with that.
If you're interested in where the Rivals fell, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Cleveland Browns, and the Cincinnati Bengals ranked 21st, 27th, and 31st, respectively. Based on what we've seen from each of them, those rankings all make sense, but the Ravens seem undervalued.
The league's 17th-best O-line doesn't help fuel this type of production. We've watched this team for several seasons. We don't see a middle-of-the-pack O-line. The challenge flag has been thrown. Respectfully, here's the demand for a recount.
