8. Can Roquan Smith outsmart Deshaun Watson?

If there is one strength vs. one weakness that could swing the game towards the Baltimore Ravens it is the quarterback of the Ravens defense against the quarterback of the Browns offense. For the Browns, they have a lot invested in DeShaun Watson, but it has not paid off. It looks like he is pressing to make up for lost time, but he is turning the ball over and taking sacks in ways that he should not.

On the flip side, the Ravens invested a lot in Roquan Smith, and it paid off in a big way. Once they traded for him the defense took a turn for the better, and they have not looked back. Even in the loss, Smith played one of his best games.

So, this should favor the Ravens in a big way. Does it? Or does Watson bounce back in a big spot? If the Ravens do not win that matchup, they are in for a long game.
