The Ravens defense is coming off a dominant performance over the as Baltimore is off to a 4-1 start for the first time since 2012 -- the year the Ravens won the Super Bowl.How will the Eagles' banged-up offense perform against one of the top defenses in the NFL?

Baltimore, in fact, has never defeated the Eagles in Philadelphia, but Sunday may be the Ravens best opportunity. The Ravens have a swarming defense that attacks the football, allowing the fewest points in the league and ranking third in takeaways. Baltimore's defense is elite on the road, having a NFL-high seven defensive scores in road games since 2018 -- while also leading the league with two defensive scores this year (home and road). The Ravens have also won eight consecutive road Eli Miller Jersey games, dating back to Week 5 of last season, averaging 33.6 points per game and allowing just 15.4 points during the stretch -- the best in the league. has thrown 18 touchdowns to just five interceptions in Baltimore's last eight road games, producing a 112.7 pa ser rating.The Ravens are the league's best road team, which makes the Eagles' chance at an upset even more difficult. Philadelphia's defensive line will play a huge factor in determining the outcome, as the Eagles are third in the NFL with 18 sacks and are tied for second -- with the Ravens -- in quarterback hits with 47. The Ravens have a top-five run defense, but Eagles running back has the third-most rushing yards in the league (316) since making his season debut in Week 2. Baltimore's offensive line has allowed just seven sacks on the year -- tied for fifth-fewest in the NFL -- while Philadelphia's offensive line has allowed 13 sacks, which ranks amongst the bottom 10 teams in the league. Can the Eagles offensive line hold the relentle s pre sure of the Ravens defense? Can Baltimore contain Philadelphia's pa s rush similar to Pittsburgh last week?If the Eagles are going to pull off the upset and keep Baltimore winle s in Philadelphia, the defense will have to stop Jackson from taking over the game. Jackson had the third-lowest completion percentage in a game in his career in last week's win over the Bengals, a team that took away running lanes by using a "bear" defense (defensive tackle lined up on the center while two other defensive tackles lined up in the B-gap) which forced Jackson to beat them with his arm. The Eagles have three defensive tackles they can play to make this work, but don't have the linebacker personnel that can counter when the quarterback throws a cro sing route for a big gain. Jackson will make enough plays for Baltimore to squeeze out a victory.Pick:Ravens 24, Eagles 20Check out CBSSports.comon this game and the rest of Week 6. Andrew Wilson Jersey |
