8. Can Odafe Oweh gain an edge against Laremy Tunsil?

When you look at the Houston Texans offensive line, things are falling apart quickly. First, it was Juice Scruggs, their starting center heading to the IR. Then, it was their starting left guard, Kenyon Green. Now, they are without Tytus Howard, their highly-regarded right tackle.

Needless to say, things are stacking up in the Baltimore Ravens' favor here. However, from the perspective of answering questions, what do we get? If the Ravens do not dominate it may be an issue, but what more than that? One key matchup will be Odafe Oweh and Laremy Tunsil.

Even with the line in bad shape, Tunsil is player and one of the best in the NFL. Oweh excelled as a rookie, and while he had a lot fewer sacks, he still was looking good, the sacks just were not coming as much. Now, the question is if he can continue to build and if the sacks come. Watching Oweh against Tunsil will be eye-opening to see how high the ceiling is for this third-year player. Everyone else should win their matchups, so the big question is what will Oweh do?
