3 Potential Top Performers:

More from Ebony Bird

Terrell Suggs: The Colts offensive line is horrible and Suggs is having a great game. Suggs always plays well but if you make it easy for him, he dominates the game. The veteran outside linebacker has 11 sacks and four forced fumbles on the year. I think he’ll leave the game with a couple more sacks and another forced fumble.

Tony Jefferson: With the Colts strong preference for running the football, this is the kind of game where Tony Jefferson’s skill set can shine. When he has been used as an in the box safety, Jefferson has been fantastic. Look for Jefferson to add to his tackle numbers in this game.

Joe Flacco: The offense has been playing well and the opponent is more than beatable. This looks like a game where Flacco can build some free confidence heading into the playoffs. Flacco looked great against the Detroit Lions. He played mostly sharp against the Pittsburgh Steelers and he was solid against the Cleveland Browns. January Joe is heating up. Look for him to throw for 250 yards and a couple touchdowns. Baltimore won’t need him to air it out but he needs to keep it going in week 16.
