Keys to Victory:


Force Mistakes from Prescott

The Ravens have won five straight games against rookie quarterbacks, but Dak Prescott has played anything like a rookie. 
Prescott has been nearly flawless in the passing game this season, throwing for 14 touchdowns to only 2 interceptions. He has also hurt teams in the ground game, rushing for 4 touchdowns. While he has looked impressive, we must remember  he is still only a rookie. When there is a rookie quarterback there are mistakes.

I don’t think that Prescott has faced a defense this season like the Ravens. Defensive coordinator Dean Pees is going to be dialing up exotic blitzes and will have his team flying to the ball on every play.

The secondary is going to have their hands full with the likes of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten. If they can take away the run game from Prescott and make him one-dimensional, the Ravens are have a chance.
