There’s a bunch of postseason baseball on tonight, but if that’s not your cup of tea, or you’re like me and your fantasy football week hangs in the balance tonight, I’ve got you covered with the Colts-Ravens preview.
(Seriously, I need Marquise Brown to go off for 20-30 tonight, and I need the Ravens’ defense to kind of crap the bed to pull this one off. I’m in a weird spot. Hook me up, Baltimore.)
The Ravens have won three-in-a-row since we last saw them fall to the Raiders in a thriller on Monday Night Football to open the season. Baltimore is 3-1 entering play tonight and can end the week in sole possession of the lead in the AFC North after the Bengals coughed up a game they had multiple shots to win against the Packers in Green Bay on Sunday, and the Browns lost to the Chargers in a wild 47-42 shootout in Los Angeles.
The Colts on the other hand… well, they’re not in a great place right now. Indianapolis is 1-3 and struggling to score points, sitting in the bottom third of the league in scoring (20.8 PPG), total yards (323.5 YPG), and passing yards (211.5 YPG).
Lamar Jackson…
Definitely hasn't been figured out yet. 😈 #RavensFlock
