Jets vs Ravens Sunday Night Football: Ray Rice Will Expose Rex Ryan's Soft Jets

The Baltimore Ravens are everything the New York Jets are trying to be. Rex Ryan strives to put forth a team that dominates on the ground and is stout against the run. Ray Rice will ensure that his soft defense is exposed for the second week in a row.

The Jets are the second worst team in the league against the run, after allowing Darren McFadden to run for a ridiculous 171 yards last week.

Rice is one of the best in the game and could have a similar outing. Behind Vonta Leach, Rice has already amassed over 400 yards on the ground and through the air.

The Jets are completely out of sorts on the defensive side of the ball and their own run game leaves something to be desired. They've uncharacteristically lost their ability to play smash mouth football and the Ravens are going to make Ryan sorry he ever left Baltimore.

The Jets are trying to get over the hump, but the wheels are coming off in New York. The Ravens look as though they are the team to beat in the AFC.

The Jets can't win when teams are running the ball at will on them. They aren't the Patriots and losing their identity as a defensive team who can't be stopped on the ground will cripple them.

A loss here will point to glaring issues that will inevitably bar the Jets from even making the playoffs this season. The AFC East is ultra competitive and with the Bills throwing their hat in the ring, the Jets face a huge uphill battle in trying to salvage their season, let alone win it all this season.

The Jets have lost their swagger and the Ravens are the last team in the league they want to face right now. The Ravens are going to be able to capitalize on the Jets' shortcomings and serve Ryan another embarrassing road loss that calls their season into question.
