When O.J. Simpson ran behind a cohesive offensive line for more than 2,000 yards in 1973, the unit was called "The Electric Company," because it turned on "The Juice."
It was an apt nickname on yet another level, for a line that has continuity can also generate power for a passing game.
In both contexts, the Ravens have been operating at rather low wattage all season.
With left guard Alex Lewis (ankle) to miss the Week 11 game at Dallas and right guard Marshal Yanda (shoulder) a question mark (though he returned to practice Nov. 16), the Ravens' fortunes don't come close to matching those of their Cowboy counterparts.
