Both types of pressure. Big games(which include games against good teams for him), and when you rush him lol.

The Ravens always could afford to if they beat the Dolphins. This just means they could drop another game as long as they beat the Dolphins.
Man I picked Puka when you were removed from the game. Don't play me lol
Outright stopped, no. But no form of tackle truly is. That said, it can absolutely be discouraged for the blatant and obvious ones with penalties, i.e. facemasks and horse collars. In fact, it should be easier than both examples because those two are generally an initiation of contact, which can comes down to inadvertent split-second judgement calls. The entire basis of the hip drop is that the defender first needs to wrap around the ball-carrier, then drop their lower half onto the legs. It's a measured response with a step one and a step two. Otherwise, they'd be cannonballing without a target if they weren't already in contact, and at that point, they can just drag down the carrier naturally. I personally think it needs to be outlawed as soon as this offseason.

This is just such a microcosm of the internet
And Ji'Ayir Brown, too. Nasty picks.

If we drop 2 and Cleveland win out they will take the top seed. Unlikely but possible.
can't be that big a deal if even Harbaugh knew he was going to be good. lol

Browns lost Delpit for the reminder of regular season (groin) and Okoronkwo (likely for season, pec)
Huge losses.

Grant Delpit is a S (their leading tackler as well)
Okoronkwo is a DE (underrated pass rusher imho)
Although they did lose both of their starting tackles for the year I believe.
This discussion has little ammo because the bye week measures are so subjective
But imo not In Lamar era, last year we barely squeaked by the panthers after being hot vs saints and bucs. 2021 we barely snuck by the Vikings in OT who weren’t good and we started super slow. 2020 we lost to the fake Steelers team coming off the bye - including literally a pick 6 on the first play of the game. We don’t talk about 2019 offs
It’s too small sample size to say it’s the bye but we’ve come out flat to start all of those games after previously being hot. Granted we’ve won more recent ones, I don’t think we’ve covered any Vegas wise, and while we haven’t been terrible, we definitely have played worse to start games. You can’t start bad come playoffs
