The Baltimore Ravens are rolling into Hotlanta without their star quarterback Lamar Jackson, who’s sidelined for the third straight game with an ankle injury. That’s a tough break for a team that really needs this game, and it sets the stage for a wild Week 5 Sunday Night Football matchup against a surging Atlanta Falcons squad.
Penix Jr. Is On Fire, And So Is The Falcons’ Run Game
Since Michael Penix Jr. came back from injury, these Falcons have been absolutely on fire. They’re playing their third primetime game in a row tonight, and man, this stage just suits them. You know how scary their running back duo is: Bijan Robinson and Michael Robinson can take it to the house on any single play. That’s a huge problem for any defense. Even if Baltimore somehow figures out how to bottle up those two on the ground, Penix isn’t going to make it easy. He’s got Drake London and Kyle Pitts, and heck, even Bijan himself, to throw to. This offense is clicking right now, and they look dangerous.
Baltimore Leans On Henry While Bills Mafia Watches
With Lamar out, it’s backup Tyler Huntley under center for the Ravens. You gotta expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry tonight, right? They’re going to lean on that run game hard to take some pressure off Huntley and control the clock. This is a game Baltimore needs big time, and you just know Jackson would have been a massive factor if he was out there. Honestly, this should be a fun one just to see how two of the NFL’s best running backs go at it. And hey, if it wasn’t obvious, Bills Mafia is absolutely rooting for the Falcons tonight.
Tonight’s game is gonna be a battle, especially seeing those insane running backs go head to head. It’s Week 5, and every game matters.
