The Baltimore Ravens return to M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday to face the surging Washington Commanders, aiming to build on their overtime win against the Cincinnati Bengals. Washington enters with a four-game win streak, powered by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, whose dual-threat abilities have quickly made him a rising star. Both teams are hungry for momentum, making this matchup a crucial test.
Baltimore’s defense will need to regroup after surrendering 38 points to the Bengals last week. They’ll aim to pressure Daniels, leveraging their historical dominance over rookie quarterbacks under John Harbaugh. Roquan Smith and the defense are eager to reassert their physicality and shut down Washington’s high-powered attack.
Adding to the excitement, the Ravens will take the field in their signature purple jerseys and white pants, a look that embodies the team’s tough, no-nonsense identity. With home-field energy on their side, Baltimore will be looking to make a statement against their regional rivals.
