Under the bright lights Youth Joe Flacco Jersey , the Baltimore Ravens will march into Heinz Field to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Although records seldom matter in this rivalry, the typical defensive slugfest may have a different mood this time around. Pittsburgh has been one of the worst defensive teams in football through three weeks, while the Ravens boast one of the best defensive units in the league. The key matchup to watch in this game will be Ben Roethlisberger’s No. 4 ranked offense sans Le’Veon Bell against Baltimore’s No. 1 ranked defense.1. Can the Ravens contain Pittsburgh’s tight ends?Last season, Baltimore struggled to limit opposing tight ends. They allowed the 10th most yards to tight ends and the eight most touchdowns. One season later, it has been a much different story as they have only allowed 14 receptions for 136 yards and no touchdowns. Against the Bengals, neither Tyler Kroft nor Tyler Eifert had success against Baltimore as they combined for four receptions for 34 yards. In week four, the Ravens will have a difficult matchup as Jesse James and Vance McDonald are both savvy veterans, who can make an impact in the passing game. McDonald is coming off of a dominant showing against the Buccaneers, where he totaled 112 receiving yards and a touchdown. Can the combination of C.J. Mosley, Tony Jefferson, and Kenny Young limit this duo?2. Without Jimmy Smith, how much of a factor will Antonio Brown be?Antonio Brown has had his way with Baltimore’s defense when Jimmy Smith has been on the sidelines. In the last three regular-season games that Smith has missed, Brown has posted 32 receptions for 453 yards and two touchdowns, most notably his 213 yard game last year in week 14. Marlon Humphrey may be forced to shadow Brown as Brandon Carr struggles against speedier receivers, and the Ravens employed a similar strategy last week against the Broncos. Regardless of who matches up with Brown, can Baltimore prevent him from wreaking havoc?3. Against a weak pass defense, will Joe Flacco have success?Pittsburgh is having an uncharacteristic season defensively. Their secondary has been atrocious http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-maxx-williams-jersey , specifically their cornerbacks. Joe Flacco is coming off of a solid performance against the Broncos, where his deep-ball accuracy was quite impressive. Can he build off of that momentum? Artie Burns should be the cornerback Flacco targets early and often. With Mike Hilton and Morgan Burnett listed as doubtful, the horrible Pittsburgh secondary will be short-handed, but can Flacco take advantage?4. Can the much-maligned Baltimore running game establish themselves?The Ravens’ rushing attack has not started out the way many had hoped. They are ranked 26th in rushing yards, but ninth in attempts. This phase has been plagued by poor blocking, but against a suspect run defense, can they right the ship? Alex Collins had success against AFC North, particularly the Steelers last season. Can he regain his old form?5. How will the Ravens’ offensive line handle a potent pass rush?As horrendous as Pittsburgh’s defense has been — 29th overall, 26th pass defense, and 25th run defense — they are surprisingly tied for second in sacks with 11. Baltimore’s offensive line has been solid in pass protection, including a remarkable performance against Von Miller, but they showcased their flaws against the Bengals. Can his unit keep another talented pass rush at bay or will it be a replay of Thursday Night Football? While sensational rookie Kenny Young was involved in the most tackles, Terrell Suggs led the team in sacks and Patrick Onwuasor had the only interception in the Ravens win over the Broncos, fourth-year linebacker Za’Darius Smith proved pivotal in disrupting Denver’s quarterback Case Keenum.Drafted in the fourth round out of Kentucky, Smith has started in just nine of the 45 games he has played in during his tenure with Baltimore. Though he did not get the start against Denver, he made his presence known, leading the team with four quarterback hits Justin Tucker Jersey , doubling his total on the season. Keenum was hit five times in each of his first two games against the Seahawks and the Raiders, both victories. However, in Week 3, he was taken down nine times, with Smith accounting for over 44.44 percent of those hits.On Sunday, Keenum was sacked three times for a loss of 19 yards, whereas he was only sacked twice through the first two weeks of the season. Smith was responsible for one of those sacks, his second on the year. With Denver leading 14-10 with 1:32 left in the first quarter, Smith sacked Keenum for a seven yard loss on 3rd & 2, forcing a punt.In 2017, Smith recorded just 3.5 sacks over the course of 14 games. At his current pace, he is well positioned to exceed his career-high of 5.5 sacks from his rookie season in 2015.Smith will have a chance to build on his strong performance in prime time, when the Ravens travel to Pittsburgh for Sunday Night Football in Week 4. If he can get to Ben Roethlisberger and make an impact in one of the game’s most hard hitting rivalries, Smith may finally fully emerge out of the shadow of his teammates.
