History sides with the Ravens.
After giving up 69 total points in their first two games, the Raiders proved that they can win a low-scoring affair. “I really do believe that we will get there”.
We could see a similar game plan in Week 4. Meanwhile, Smith Sr.is possibly the best “old” receiver in the National Football League, he just needs to get more of the ball. I still think he has a chance for Sunday.
Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio is in his second season with the team and enters this matchup with a 76-81 record as a head coach in the NFL.
The Ravens have yet to find a running back that they trust to carry the load this season. “We need to do it”.
Baltimore’s underwhelming offense will try to right the ship against Oakland’s struggling defense, while its own suffocating defense tries to slow down Oakland’s high-powered offense.
John Harbaugh is in his ninth season at the helm of the Baltimore Ravens and brings a 80-51 record into this weekend’s game.
Joe Flacco is finally the father of a baby girl.
“I’m sure there will be a ton of pink flooding into our house”, Flacco said. “Bottom line is being better”. Mack has been getting double and triple teamed all year by every team that he has faced. One thing I can do is I can play with pain. How can we block it better? We know what type of player he is. Baltimore also added safety Eric Weddle, a key figure on the league’s second-ranked defense unit.
Baltimore is looking for a measure of revenge on Sunday. McCants has been splitting reps with rookie Vadal Alexander at right tackle this week while Watson is out. “They’ve been taking a lot of heat and obviously, they played much better”.
Once again, the Ravens managed to squeeze past a supposedly bad team, but a win is a win.
The Raiders have never beaten the Ravens in five games at Baltimore. “There have been a lot of ups and downs, winning the Super Bowl there, and to kind of find out that’s probably not where you’re going to end up can be a little emotional”. However, the Ravens were called for holding.
For the day, the Raiders got outgained the Titans, 393-368, but won the turnover battle, 3-1.
-Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley has taken on a bigger leadership role.
By not playing, Dumervil said he reconnected with the reason why he plays the game. “He has had really good depth – you look at those two interceptions – (he had) really good depth on his coverage”. And don’t forget about speedy edge rusher Bruce Irvin, who the Raiders signed to a four-year, $37 million deal this offseason.
The Baltimore Ravens have to be feeling pretty good with how their season has started. “Earlier in the year, I was more injured than hurt”. We’re not talking about where a player gets beat one on one, but sometimes cornerbacks weren’t even in the same zip code with receivers. He has been out since the third preseason game with a knee injury but returned to practice this week.
For one, Oakland has a deadly passing game.
