Atlanta’s quarterback room holds Michael Penix Jr., Tua Tagovailoa and Cooper Rush, with the starter confirmed on Friday.

Derrick Henry against the best run defense in football

Atlanta’s front has been remarkable. One hundred and ninety-three rushing yards conceded in four games, at 2.72 a carry, with no other team in the league inside 3.2. Teams have simply stopped trying to run at them.

Baltimore will try anyway, because 614 rushing yards at 4.83 a carry is what they do. The more interesting number is 118.4: Lamar Jackson and a passing game second only to San Francisco, against a Falcons secondary that has conceded 1,059 yards.

Atlanta’s own offense is the counterweight. Bijan Robinson has 494 rushing yards, second in the league, the team averages 5.21 a carry and converts 80% in the red zone. They can score. What they cannot do is throw, and at 72.2 that limits how they come back if Baltimore get ahead.

Players to watch

  • Derrick Henry (BAL, RB): 374 rushing yards against the best run defense in the NFL.
  • Zay Flowers (BAL, WR): 352 receiving yards in a passing game rating 118.4.
  • Bijan Robinson (ATL, RB): 494 rushing yards, second in the NFL, at 5.21 a carry as a team.
  • Drake London (ATL, WR): 370 receiving yards, Atlanta’s clear first option.

Ravens vs Falcons prediction and score projection

Baltimore win 26-20. Atlanta will stop the run and still have to deal with the passing game, and a 46-point rating gap is difficult to overcome at any venue.
