The Ravens could be down to their thier string quarterback if Huntley can't go and he was listed as a game-time decision. They will have to rely on their defense, which isn't too shabby. The Ravens' defense is giving up 18.5 points a game and that may be too many in this one. The Ravens are putting up 20.6 points a game but without Jackson, that number will be difficult to reach. The Bengals are giving up 20 points a game and the offense is putting up 26. In Huntley's four starts, the Ravens scored 49 total. The Bengals have put up an average of nearly 27 points per game over those same 4 games. For the Ravens to have a chance they will need to control the clock by running the ball. That will be difficult against the seventh-best rushing defense. Baltimore has one of the worst past defenses and could be without a couple of key defensive backs. Burrough should be able to move the ball through the air and have the ability to score touchdowns in the Red Zone. Baltimore just isn't the same team without Jackson and will struggle in this one.
