Baltimore RavensAfter a 27-14 win over the Denver Broncos White Za’Darius Smith Jersey , the 2-1 Ravens now travel to Pittsburgh to face the 1-1-1 Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Baltimore is looking to break their three-game losing streak against their arch-rivals and prove to the league that they are true contenders. The Ravens defense is ranked first in yards per game and second in passing yards and has yet to allow a second half touchdown. However, the same unit did allow three receiving touchdowns to A.J. Green in a loss to the Bengals in Week 2, and they now face wide receiver Antonio Brown. Top cornerback Jimmy Smith is still suspended for Baltimore, so second-year corner Marlon Humphrey will have to rise to the occasion to stop Brown. Pittsburgh remains without star running back Le’Veon Bell. The Steelers are still ranked second in total offense in the league, but their rushing game is ranked 23rd, even with the emergence of running back James Conner. The Ravens have the 13th ranked run defense, but the hopeful return of both C.J. Mosley and Michael Pierce will help to greatly strengthen the unit. With a win against the Steelers and a Cincinnati loss, Baltimore could take first place in the AFC North at 3-1. Pittsburgh SteelersPittsburgh secured it’s first victory of the season with a thrilling 30-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. The Steelers now play host to the Ravens in what should be another prime time thriller. Pittsburgh’s defense has struggled so far this season, and they currently sit at 29th in total yards per game. Baltimore boasts the league’s ninth best passing attack heading into this game. The Steelers 28th ranked pass defense will have to find a way to stop quarterback Joe Flacco through the air in order to win.On the other side, Pittsburgh’s passing attack will be tested against the Ravens strong pass defense. Second-year receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster will have an opportunity to make his presence felt if Baltimore’s defense focuses too heavily on stopping Brown in the passing game. Smith-Schuster is off to a great start to the season with 365 yards and one touchdown. Tight ends Jesse James and Vance McDonald could also play big roles against the Ravens. It is also worth mentioning that the last time these teams met without cornerback Jimmy Smith, Brown had 11 receptions for 213 yards.The Steelers will put themselves right back in discussion for the AFC North crown with a win over their divisional foes.Cleveland BrownsCleveland won their first game since the 2016 season against the New York Jets last week. The 1-1-1 Browns now travel to Oakland to face the 0-3 Raiders. Can Cleveland get it’s second win in a row on Sunday?The Browns defense currently leads the league in turnovers. Cleveland rookie cornerback Denzel Ward has certainly impressed with his play thus far, meeting expectations as the fourth overall pick in the 2018 draft. Defensive end and former first overall pick Myles Garrett has started his second year on a strong note, recording four sacks through the first three games. Oakland’s sixth ranked passing attack will test the opportunistic defense of Cleveland.The number one overall pick Baker Mayfield made his first regular season appearance last week, sparking a comeback win. Mayfield looked poised and sharp throwing the football against the stout Jets defense on Thursday Night Football. If Mayfield can continue this success, then Cleveland could develop a deadly offense. Wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Antonio Callaway are legit targets through the air and running backs Carlos Hyde, Duke Johnson and Nick Chubb combine for a solid three-headed monster on the ground. Cincinnati BengalsAfter a 31-21 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 3 Za’Darius Smith Jersey 2019 , the Bengals now travel to Atlanta to face the Falcons. Rookie receiver Calvin Ridley has emerged as a true threat and compliment to star receiver Julio Jones for the Falcons, so the Bengals could have a hard time containing the duo. Atlanta and Cincinnati boast the leagues’ 11th and 12th best passing attacks respectively, while both passing defenses are in the bottom 10. Wide receiver A.J. Green looks likely to play on Sunday after suffering a minor pelvis injury last week. However, running back Joe Mixon and center Billy Price are both expected to miss the game. Starting cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick could also be sidelined, which is concerning when facing an explosive offense like the Falcons.The Bengals would improve to 3-1 with a win over Atlanta, increasing their chances of winning the AFC North. BALTIMORE (AP) — Long before they finished their season with a first-round playoff defeat, the Baltimore Ravens were already preparing for 2019 and beyond.The process began last February, when owner Steve Bisciotti announced that this would be final year for general manager Ozzie Newsome, who has held the post since the franchise moved from Cleveland before the 1996 season. The job now belongs to Eric DeCosta, the assistant GM since 2012.This also turned out to be the final season in Baltimore for quarterback Joe Flacco, whose 11-year run included three trips to the AFC Championship game and a Super Bowl MVP trophy. Flacco was displaced in November by rookie Lamar Jackson , who guided the Ravens to the AFC North title and helped the team end a three-year hiatus from the playoffs.And, if there was any question about the stability of coach John Harbaugh, that item was addressed last month when the team asserted he would return in 2019 and that both sides were working on an extension.Not long after the Ravens (10-7) were eliminated Sunday with a 23-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Harbaugh was already looking toward next year."There are plenty of things that we can do to improve," he said. "We'll look at this as our beginning and go from here."Flacco began his NFL career with the Ravens by reaching the playoffs in five consecutive years. The Ravens can only hope for a similar start from Jackson White Marlon Humphrey Jersey , who turned 22 Monday, one day after becoming the youngest quarterback in league history to start in the postseason.The rookie had a flawed performance against the Chargers, fumbling three times of offset two touchdown passes during a failed fourth-quarter comeback bid. But Harbaugh and the Ravens are fully behind the fleet-footed Jackson, who didn't get his first NFL start until the 10th game of the season."Lamar is our quarterback going forward," Harbaugh said. "No question about that."He left little doubt that Flacco won't be part of the equation in 2019."Joe's going to have a market. A lot of teams are going to want Joe," Harbaugh said.The Ravens have their man."He's the future," safety Eric Weddle said. "He'll come back 10 times better than he was this year. For what he did, and to the belief that he gave not only our team, but our city, this organization, is pretty special."Some other things to know about the Ravens as they begin the offseason:NOT GONE, NEVER FORGOTTENNewsome will stick around as an adviser to DeCosta, who received the Ravens keep him from going elsewhere."He has made the Ravens who they are, in my opinion," Harbaugh said of Newsome. "I'm biased, but I think he's the greatest GM in the history of football."The transition should be smooth Marlon Humphrey Jersey 2019 , because DeCosta has been part of the front office as long as the Ravens have been in existence.JACKSON: YEAR TWOJackson fumbled at least once in each of his eight starts and had only one 200-yard passing game.At least he knows what he must improve upon in 2019."The ball handling in an offense like this is the thing we have to be great at," Harbaugh said. "We'll become a good drop-back pass team. We'll become a good play-action pass team."FLACCO FAREWELLFlacco's hip injury in November opened the door for Jackson to start, and the rookie maintained the job after the team went on a hot streak.The Ravens can't afford to pay Flacco to be a backup, so the veteran's postgame session with the media had a nostalgic feel."To be honest with you, I can't imagine a better 11 years," Flacco said. "This place becoming my home and my children's home. Just how many different life changes I went through and how much we won here."SUGGS WANTS MOREHall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis played 17 years with the Ravens, and LB Terrell Suggs wants to at least match that number.After completing his 16th season Sunday, the Ravens career sack leader offered no hint that retirement was in his future."I'm healthy, and I still feel like I have some juice in the tank," Suggs said. "I would love to be a Raven for life. It's a long time between here and March. So, we're just going to enjoy it and hope we can work it out. If not, I'll be lining up for somebody next year."DEFENSE RESTSFirst-year defensive coordinator Don Martindale put together the league's No. 1 unit this year, restoring a tradition for a franchise that has long relied on stuffing the opposition."We re-set a standard," tackle Michael Pierce said.No team allowed fewer yards, and only the Chicago Bears gave up fewer points per game. Baltimore limited the high-powered Chargers to one touchdown and 243 yards on Sunday.
