Key Matchups

Joe Flacco vs. Broncos Secondary

Denver’s secondary is going to need a good game on the road. This could be a solid game to bounce back. Chris Harris Jr. and Darian Stewart have intercepted Joe Flacco before. The wide outs for the Ravens are not exactly all that dangerous.

However, the tight ends and running backs could present a problem. Denver has issues covering those two positions in the passing game. If they can limit their production, this could turn out to be a win.

Royce Freeman and Phillip Lindsay vs. Baltimore Front Seven

Both rookie running backs have proven in the first two games that they can make a difference in the Broncos running game. They will get the chance to do that again. If there is one area on the Ravens defense the team can exploit, it is their run defense. While it is in the middle of the pack, these two running backs can cause some problems.

And be on the lookout for them in the passing game too. They have the abilities to catch from the backfield and make defenders miss.
