The 25-year-old finished the regular season having intercepted three passes, accounting for 22 solo tackles, 11 assists, and adding two sacks to a statline which earned him his second-highest career Pro Football Focus grade of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70.2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, despite Baltimore beating the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/nfl-teams2\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Tennessee Titans<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the wild card round before losing to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/02\/24\/trent-williams-free-agent-team-fits\/\" target=\"_self\">Buffalo Bills<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the divisional round, Bowser struggled in those two playoff games. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bowser produced just three solo tackles and one pass deflection as he earned a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50.0 PFF grade<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, Bowser had perhaps his best all-around season as he played in all 16 regular season games. Bowser racked up <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20 solo tackles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, five sacks, one forced fumble, and two pass deflections on his way to earning a career-high <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70.8 PFF grade<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, Bowser again struggled in Baltimore\u2019s divisional round playoff loss playing in just 17% of the team\u2019s defensive snaps and recording a pass deflection which resulted in a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">63.0 PFF grade<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a second-year player in 2018, Bowser had an average season with the Ravens as he played in 15 regular season games in which he had just one solo tackle along with one sack despite earning a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">63.8 PFF grade<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. His lackluster season carried over into Baltimore\u2019s wild card playoff loss to the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/02\/24\/trent-williams-free-agent-team-fits\/\" target=\"_self\">Los Angeles Chargers<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Bowser played in just 22% of the team\u2019s defensive snaps and recorded zeroes across his statline which earned him a lowly <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PFF grade of 46.1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. As a rookie second round pick from Houston in 2017, the 6-foot-3, 242-pound defender appeared in all 16 regular season games for the Ravens. Bowser notably recorded five solo tackles, three sacks, and one interception on his way to earning a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">59.6 PFF grade<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"bFuOTNgsQvVc4IRR0vHPNQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1291823027\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'bFuOTNgsQvVc4IRR0vHPNQ',sig:'k_uWfSUYUcXO0GtzjNqixf1_9l5NLPuYvvUxVgp6m1g=',w:'594px',h:'395px',items:'1291823027',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edge defender Tyus Bowser is no longer a free agent after signing his new contract.
