3 Ravens to keep an eye on:

1. Patrick Ricard: 

While the offensive line is the biggest key to the Ravens success, this is a game where the fullback is going to have to get involved. Look for the Ravens to use Ricard as a lead blocker for Mark Ingram in the running game, When the Ravens can’t solve a protection problem with their five offensive linemen, Ricard is going to chip in. Ricard should get plenty of playing time in this game and he could be one of the keys to the game.

2. Marquise Brown: 

Marquise Brown missed two games due to injury and he’s back to being one of the most dynamic players on the field. Against the Patriots, Brown had a 26 yard reception. Brown had four receptions against the Bengals for 80 yards and a touchdown. The rookie wide receiver has become one of the most exciting pieces of the offense. This feels like a game in which the Ravens are going to need some big plays. Brown is one of their most capable big play players.

3. L.J. Fort: 

The Ravens can’t allow the Rams to get the run game going. The Rams are a different team when they can run the ball well. Stopping the run starts with the defensive lines but linebacker play may be the most important component. L.J. Fort has become a very aggressive linebacker. With all the play-action and all the window dressing that goes into the Rams’ offense, Fort has to be on top of his game. If Fort makes tackles in the backfield, that will be a good sign for Baltimore.
