Lamar Jackson is out for the second straight week with an ankle injury, but don’t count out the Baltimore Ravens. They’re still rocking a 4-1 start in 2026 under rookie head coach Jesse Minter, and they’re bringing Tyler “Snoop” Huntley back to the starting lineup for this Week 6 clash against the Cleveland Browns. Huntley already led them to an overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons last week, so he’s clearly ready to roll.
Huntley Steps Up As Ravens Look to Keep Rolling
It’s pretty wild to see a rookie head coach like Jesse Minter get the Ravens to a 4-1 record, especially with their MVP quarterback sidelined. Huntley is getting his second start of the season at Huntington Bank Field, and he’s got momentum after that gutsy overtime win last week. This Baltimore team has been finding ways to get it done, proving they’re a force even when facing adversity. You know they’re coming into Cleveland fired up to keep that winning streak alive.
Watson’s Touchdowns vs. That Sack Problem
On the other side, the Cleveland Browns have been a bit of a surprise package this season, sitting at 3-2. But their last outing was a loss to the New York Jets, and it highlighted a major red flag: Deshaun Watson took a whopping eight sacks in that game. While Watson has managed to throw a touchdown pass in each of his starts this season, that kind of pressure is just brutal. And guess what? This Ravens defense is no joke, boasting an 11.1% quarterback knockdown rate, which is 12th in the league. That’s got to be a scary stat for a Browns offensive line that clearly struggled last week to protect their guy. If they can’t shore that up, Watson could be in for another long afternoon.
This Week 6 matchup is going down at 1 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action on Fox. It’s the first time these two meet this season, and with both teams looking to solidify their early records, every snap is going to matter. Can Huntley keep the Ravens surging, or will Watson find a way to stay upright and get the Browns back in the win column?
