Can the Ravens maintain their mastery of rookie quarterbacks?

The Ravens are 18-2 at home against rookie quarterbacks under Head Coach John Harbaugh, including the postseason, and many of those games haven’t been close. However, Jayden Daniels is no ordinary rookie. Among starters who have played all five games, only Joe Burrow, Baker Mayfield and Jackson have a higher quarterback rating than Daniels (106.3). He doesn’t play like a rookie or act like one, and Daniels’ confidence reflects on the entire organization. The Commanders have averaged 38 points in their last three games under new offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, and Baltimore will need a strong defensive effort to cool down Washington’s offense.

Will the Ravens defense solve the problems?

Despite beating the Bengals, Week 5 was not good for Baltimore’s pass defense, which ranks 31st in the league and handed five touchdown passes to Burrow. Rashee Rice, Davante Adams and Ja’Marr Chase all gained over 100 yards against the Ravens. McLaurin is another wide receiver who is coming off a 112-yard rushing game against the Cleveland Browns. To contain McLlaurin, Baltimore’s secondary will have to cover, tackle and communicate better than it did in Cincinnati.

Does Washington have an answer for Derrick Henry?

Henry has averaged 147.3 rushing yards per game during the Ravens’ three-game winning streak, compared to 65 yards when they started 0-2. While the passing attack also thrived against Cincinnati, Baltimore’s league-leading rushing attack lays a strong foundation for the offense and can impose its will on opponents. Henry runs away violently, and he is firmly blocked by teammates who want to jump him. The Commanders are tied for second in the league in rushing yards per carry (5.1 yards) and Henry is the best back they have faced all season.
