Baltimore Ravens Vs. Philadelphia Eagles: Statistics To Know
USA TODAY Sports

Ravens Offense vs. Eagles Defense

BALTIMORE OFFENSE

  • 426.7 TOTAL YARDS/GAME (1st)
  • 246.5 PASSING YARDS/GAME (3rd)
  • 180.2 RUSHING YARDS/GAME (2nd)
  • 30.3 POINTS/GAME (2nd)

PHILADELPHIA DEFENSE

  • 274.6 TOTAL YARDS/GAME (1st)
  • 175.5 PASSING YARDS/GAME (3rd)
  • 99.2 RUSHING YARDS/GAME (7th)
  • 18.1 POINTS/GAME (6th)

The league's No. 1 overall offense goes toe-to-toe with the No. 1 overall defense. The only area Philadelphia's defense is prone to is the rushing defense. Baltimore can attack with their top-tier run game, especially with Philadelphia's veteran defensive end Brandon Graham out for the season.

Eagles Offense vs. Ravens Defense

PHILADELPHIA OFFENSE

  • 389.1 TOTAL YARDS/GAME (3rd)
  • 195.7 PASSING YARDS/GAME (25th)
  • 193.4 RUSHING YARDS/GAME (1st)
  • 26.9 POINTS/GAME (7th)

BALTIMORE DEFENSE

  • 355.6 TOTAL YARDS/GAME (24th)
  • 277.7 PASSING YARDS/GAME (31st)
  • 77.9 RUSHING YARDS/GAME (2nd)
  • 24.5 POINTS/GAME (23rd)

The much-maligned Baltimore defense is slowly improving each week. Though they are not at the point of desire, their progression heading into the season's final stretch should give fans optimism. Their pass rush and No. 2 rushing defense must come through against the league's top running unit. The combination of Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts will test the formidability of the Ravens' defenders upfront.

The Eagles don't pass much, but Hurts has been good when needed. His stats may be quiet, but that's only because he doesn't need to throw a lot. Baltimore can either capitalize on this matchup or prove the typical narrative about their pass defense with Hurts having a monster performance.

Henry seemingly ran away with Offensive Player of the Year after his early to mid-season dominance. Now, Barkley has surpassed him and is now intertwined with Jackson in MVP conversations, especially after his 255-yard rushing performance against the Los Angeles Rams. The two will face off, possibly furthering the implications of the award for the rest of the season.
