Saints vs Ravens injury report and team news
Tyler Shough completed 35 of 56 for 410 yards at Detroit, with two interceptions. Chris Olave caught ten of them for 182 yards.
This section updates as soon as the Out, Doubtful and Questionable tags land.
The matchup that settles it: Derrick Henry against a run defence that just leaked 165
Henry carried 24 times for 144 and three scores last week. New Orleans conceded 165 rushing yards at five a carry, which is the whole argument.
The Saints can move the ball. Four hundred and sixty-nine yards at Detroit is not nothing, but three giveaways against Baltimore is a different order of punishment.
Lamar Jackson threw for 324 at a 124.2 rating without an interception and ran one in. Zay Flowers turned five catches into 150 yards in the same game.
