The Ravens Stop The Run:

Baltimore does one thing better than anybody. They stop the run. The Cowboys do one thing better than anybody. They run the football. This is a classic case of something has to give. The Ravens will rely on a dominant front seven to win this game. Ezekiel Elliot is special but the purple and black have stopped some great running backs this season.

LeSean McCoy got next to nothing against the Ravens. The Ravens and the Bills had a defensive slug-fest. McCoy only managed to gain 58 yards in the season opener. Le’Veon Bell only could muster 32 yards against the Ravens. This will be the stiffest test the Ravens defense has seen. The Cowboys offensive line is impeccable. However it’s not like the Ravens run defense hasn’t had a stiff competition.

Brandon Williams is a beast. Michael Pierce is impressive. Timmy Jernigan and the rest of the defensive line is nothing for the Cowboys to scoff at. C.J. Mosley and Zach Orr are playing incredible football at the inside linebacker spot. Terrell Suggs is making everyone else look bad with a biceps injury and an iron will.
