Before New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor gets too trigger-happy in week 12, he should know that Baltimore Ravens defensive back Nate Wiggins will be watching him like a man from a watchtower. Wiggins has already totaled three interceptions this season and may be afforded many chances to ballhawk on any telegraphed pass Taylor throws on Sunday afternoon. Especially if the Ravens’ pass rush forces the Jets to fall into down-and-distance situations.
Needless to say, the Jets have struggled extremely to get their air attack optimized. The Jets rank No. 32 in passing yards per game, last in the NFL, and unless Taylor has taken a Dragon Ball Z Senzu bean, expect Wiggins and the Ravens defense to swarm the Jets in week 12. The Ravens allowed the Browns just 81 passing yards in week 11, and defensive coordinator Zach Orr has his mind set on replicating that performance versus a struggling Jets offense.

However, the Ravens are extremely physical in the trenches, so being able to move Orr’s defense through physicality is highly unlikely. If Taylor happens to misread or get anxious under pressure, expect the Ravens defense to force even more turnovers this week, as they have in each of the four games on their current winning streak.
