Ravens at Bengals:
Two elite teams look to win against a division rival as the Baltimore Ravens will take on the Cincinnati Bengals at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
The Ravens are coming off of a relatively easy win against the struggling Houston Texans by a score of 25-9. The Ravens unfortunately have lost their starting running back JK Dobbins to a season-ending Achilles injury. So now star quarterback Lamar Jackson will need to step it up in the running game and the air attack with Dobbins’ absence to keep the Ravens winning.
On the other side of the ball, the Bengals were stunned as they were beaten by the Cleveland Browns last week. The Bengals were heavy favorites going into this game and lost 24-3. Quarterback Joe Burrow only threw for 82 yards. Burrow got a massive $275 million contract this offseason and has not shown that kind of value yet. He looks to have a bounce back game against one of the better teams in the NFL. Being back at home could potentially help Burrow to play better.
This is the first matchup between these teams since the postseason last year where Cincinnati won 24-17. The Ravens look to get revenge against the cold Bengals. This matchup is sure to be good.
Chiefs at Jaguars:
The Super Bowl LVII champion Kansas City Chiefs lost their home opener last week to the Detroit Lions and look to get their first win of the season down in Jacksonville against the Jaguars.
The Jaguars got their first win on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars looked good and looked even better after getting receiver Calvin Ridley in action. Trevor Lawrence was throwing the ball very well for over 200 yards and touchdowns to Ridley and Zay Jones. Linebacker Josh Allen made his presence known as he recorded three sacks on the day and looks to do the same against Patrick Mahomes.
Mahomes looks to bounce back and will most likely have his most valuable offensive weapon back in tight end Travis Kelce. North Florida will be showing us some good football come Sunday at 1 p.m.
Jets at Cowboys:
One thing these two teams share is that they are good at beating teams from the state of New York. The Jets are coming off of an underdog victory beating the Buffalo Bills in overtime while the Cowboys had a dominant shutout win over the New York Giants. Both teams are hot right now starting the year off 1-0.
That Dallas defense looked impeccable and this Dallas offense will hopefully get a chance this week to show how good they are against Sauce Gardner, Jordan Whitehead, and Quinnen Williams on the Jets defense.
Even though the Jets managed to get the win last Monday, star quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with an apparent Achilles injury and will not be active, so Zach Wilson will need to step up and show out once again. He has the potential to go against this Cowboys defense with stars such as Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall within that offense.
This will surely be one of, if not the best, games of the week. One team will be 2-0, the other will take their first loss of the season, who will remain undefeated? Find out Sunday at 4:25 p.m.
