Baltimore RavensDallas CowboysThe matchup that settles it: Baltimore’s running game on an unfamiliar surface
The Ravens average 5.3 a carry with five rushing touchdowns; the Cowboys have conceded 347 rushing yards at 5.0 and have two sacks all season.
Dallas answer with the most efficient passing offence either side has faced: six touchdown passes, a 117.1 rating and 85.7% in the red zone.
