As the Ravens and Cardinals finalize a trade for quarterback Jacoby Brissett, Tyler Sullivan joins CBS Sports HQ. Brissett won't be available for the Thursday Night Football game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because the contract is anticipated to be finalized this weekend.
The Baltimore Ravens (4-1) will take on the Cleveland Browns (3-2) in this Week 6 AFC North matchup at Huntington Bank Field with the goal of extending their three-game winning run and securing their top spot in the division. With Lamar Jackson sidelined by a sprained ankle, Baltimore's backfield is the focal point of the story. Tyler Huntley, who demonstrated his abilities by leading the team to an exciting overtime victory in Atlanta last week, now controls the offense.
It is obvio
In order to set the physical tone and lessen Huntley's workload against a potent Cleveland pass rush led by Myles Garrett, the Ravens will likely rely heavily on Derrick Henry, who already has 476 running yards and seven touchdowns this season. After a poor offensive performance in a 17-12 defeat to the Jets, in which Deshaun Watson was sacked eight times and produced fewer than 200 yards overall, the Browns are eager to turn things around.
The Browns will find it difficult to move the chains if Cleveland's offensive line is unable to strengthen its pass defense against Roquan Smith and Baltimore's aggressive front. As a result, control of the line of scrimmage and turnover margins will be the decisive factors in this traditional division clash.
Zay Flowers isn't currently considered the best wide receiver in the NFL, but he may be the most valuable to his team. I mean just look at the elevation Flowers got on that clutch catch in Brazil! It is insane! Flowers had like 150 yards in just the first half in week 1 for the Baltimore Ravens before he go injured. The Ravens definitely would not have beaten the cowboys if Big Play Zay did not make this incredible catch leaving just 1 second on the clock for a game winning Tyler Loop field goal.
It is obvious that Zay Flowers has stepped it up a notch this season. We all saw what the Baltimore Ravens offense looked like without him in week 2. There is no way the Ravens would have lost that game to the Saints in week 2 if Zay Flowers was healthy and on the field. If Zay keeps playing like this, he very well may become the best WR in the league.
Zay Flowers had an incredible game for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1 finishing with 150 yards receiving and a touchdown before leaving the game with an injury. Zay Flowers, who has been the primary target for Lamar Jackson in the passing game, will be out in week 2 due to a lingering hamstring issue. The question today will be who will step up in the Ravens passing game? The Ravens no longer have clutch TE Isaiah Likely who is now with the New York Giants and will also be missing promising rookie WR Ja'Kobi Lane who is also out with an injury.
Many Ravens fans have high hopes that WR Rashod Bateman will step up in the absence of Zay Flowers. Promising young WR Devontez Walker will also have a golden opportunity to contribute. The Ravens will also need some help from veteran TE Mark Andrews and running back Derrick Henry to help keep pressure off of Lamar. We will find out alot about the Ravns WR depth and passing game today as the Ravens play the New Orleans Saints in the home opener at M&T Bank stadium.
