Three Ravens to keep an eye on:

1. Terrell Suggs: Suggs is playing at an incredible level. He just racked up two sacks and a forced fumble against Tom Savage and the Texans. It was the third game of the year where Suggs had a pair of sacks. It was the fourth game of the year where he had a forced fumble. When the defense needs big plays, Suggs can get the job done. The Lions offensive line isn’t great and they are a pass happy team. I think this is a great chance for Suggs to make some big plays.

2. Tony Jefferson: The Lions passing game is going to be their main course of attack. Jefferson plays his best in the box, but the Ravens may have to see him do more in coverage. If Jefferson can do a bit of everything at the strong safety position it could help the defense in a big way. Jefferson has to make life hard for Eric Ebron, the Lions’ talented tight end. If I were Mr. Pees, I’d have him add some pass rush as well.

3. Alex Collins: The Ravens need the running game in this one. Collins has had a few down weeks in a row. Before the bye week, Collins recorded his first 100 yard rushing game. Since then the most he has totaled is 60. This would be a really good time for Collins to have another big game. On a poorly functioning offense he is the best play-maker.
