The Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins square off for an important week 5 ball game. Here are some bullet points for you:

  • The Ravens and Redskins have met 5 times in the regular season. The Ravens hold a 3-2 record against Washington.
  • The Redskins won the last meeting between these teams. It was a late season game in 2012. The Redskins won 31-28.
  • The Redskins two defeats of the Ravens have come in years the Ravens have one the Super Bowl. While we’d still prefer a Ravens win, a loss could be a good omen.

Great Defense Vs. Flowing Offense

The Redskins best red zone threat is Jordan Reed, who had two red zone touchdowns last week against the Cleveland Browns.

Even after a loss to the Raiders, the Ravens defense is playing strong. The Ravens defense ranks first in yards allowed per game.

Kirk Cousins has played well this season. He needs less than 300 yards to have the most yards through six games in franchise history.

Ronnie Stanley is doubtful for this game. It looks like Alex Lewis will get his first start at the left tackle position. Lewis started the first three games at left guard.

John Urschel is projected to start at the left guard position. Urschel is active for the first time this season after being kept away with an injury.

Darren Waller has been put on the Ravens 53 man roster, which could add another weapon to the offense.

The Ravens offense has gotten off to a slow start in each game this season. The offense ranks 20th in yards gained per game.

Final Thoughts:

  • Joe Flacco is struggling. He has thrown just four touchdowns this season. He also has four interceptions and has been sacked eight times.
  • Kenneth Dixon is making his regular season debut at the running back position.
  • Trent Murphy leads the Redskins with four sacks.
  • Only two Ravens wide receivers have scored touchdowns this season. Steve Smith Sr. has one, Mike Wallace has three.
