The Baltimore Ravens (4-2) are going on the road to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-2) in Week 7. It is a highly touted battle between two of the top teams in the NFL on “Monday Night Football.”
Here are three Ravens who could impact the game the most.
Running back Derrick Henry
Through the first six weeks of the season, Baltimore has the NFL’s best rush attack, averaging the most rushing yards per game (205.3).
A big reason why is Henry, who has scored at least one touchdown in every game and rushed for 130-plus yards in three of the last four games.
The Ravens must do their best to win the time-of-possession game against the Buccaneers, whose offense has been hot, coming of a 51-point win.
Henry should help do just that, as Tampa Bay is allowing 113.3 rushing yards per game.
Wide receiver Zay Flowers
It took Flowers a little bit to warm up this season with just 17 catches for 158 yards through the first four weeks.
However, the second-year wide receiver has been on fire the past two games, registering 16 catches for 243 yards.
Flowers has a good chance to have his third straight 100-yard receiving performance, as the Buccaneers are allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game (252.3) in the NFL.
He will only have so many opportunities, as Baltimore has proven to have a run-first mentality, but Flowers has the ability to take any catch to the house.
Edge rusher Kyle Van Noy
Quarterback Baker Mayfield is having an incredible start to the season. The former No. 1 overall pick has thrown for 1,489 yards and a league-leading 15 touchdowns.
The only thing that looks like it will slow him down is getting pressure on him, and Van Noy seems best suited to do just that.
The 33-year-old leads the Ravens with six sacks, which ranks fourth in the NFL.
Van Noy has turned back the clock. Baltimore will need that to remain true this week with the hopes of winning its fifth straight game.
