The struggles of the Ravens' run game persisted Week 6 vs. Green Bay. Ray Rice managed just 34 rushing yards on 14 carries, while backup running back Bernard Pierce had 9 rushing yards on six carries.
The Ravens totaled 47 rushing yards on 22 carries in the 19-17 loss.
"We would love to run the ball better," Rice said, per The Baltimore Sun. "It's not something that you plan on, going out there and messing up. The run game has to get better. They created piles. They did what good goal-line defenses do. I never had a fair one-on-one shot with a guy. There was always two or three [defenders] in the hole."
Through six games, the Ravens are averaging 2.7 yards per carry and 72.7 rushing yards per game, which ranks 27th in the NFL.
"What you saw out there is not what we put out in practice, we practiced so hard," Rice said. "I'd use the words, 'a little frustrated.' This is one of the hardest-working teams in the NFL, I believe. I know for a fact what we get in between weightlifting, practice and everything we do, what we put out there is a little bit frustrating."
