The Baltimore Ravens are about to play the Philadelphia Eagles in their third preseason game of the year:

The Baltimore Ravens are ready for their third preseason game. This is their first road game of the preseason, however the team doesn’t have to go far. John Harbaugh and company will be in Philadelphia taking on the Eagles. This will be the last time that Ravens fans get to see their starters before the regular season begins. That makes it an important moment for Lamar Jackson and company. They want to go into their week 1 contest against the Miami Dolphins with some momentum.

The preseason has been a success on multiple fronts, though it’s only been two games. Lamar Jackson has led the team down the field on a few drives. While the purple and black are settling for Justin Tucker field goals more than you would like to see, Jackson and the offense are showing some encouraging signs. Defensively, the Ravens have seen some signs of life from their outside linebackers. It may only be preseason, yet a 29-0 win against the Jacksonville Jaguars was a very good note to start things off on.

The Ravens may see a tougher test against the Eagles. The Eagles aren’t that far removed from their Super Bowl winning season. They are thought to be contenders in the NFC East. The third preseason game isn’t just important to the Ravens. That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to reach out to the FanSided site for the Philadelphia Eagles, Inside The Iggles.
