Two surprising teams meet this Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The Tennessee Titans (4-0) have seemingly done everything right this season, even after everything appeared bleak when quarterback Vince Young went down in Week 1. The Titans have weathered the storm of Young’s injury, demotion and drama and have done nothing but win-and win impressively. In fact the Titans have never been 4-0 before this season. Veteran backup Kerry Collins continues to impress. He has been stellar yet unspectacular, but has ridden Lindale White and a solid defense to their impressive start. Tennessee comes off a big, and quite easy, victory over the Minnesota Vikings, 30-17.
The Baltimore Ravens (2-1) were predicted to be one of the doormats of the NFL, particularly the AFC North, however the team has hung tough in the standings and on the gridiron with the division-leading Pittsburgh Steelers. The team played very well this past Monday against Pittsburgh, responding to every punch the Steelers doled out. They were able to take Pittsburgh to overtime before a Jeff Reed 46-yard field goal sealed the Ravens’ fate. Joe Flacco continues to impress in his rookie campaign. He was 16 for 31 with 192 yards and a touchdown on Monday night. While not up to their Super Bowl winning heights, Baltimore’s defense has been solid, ranking 14th in the league.
The key matchup will be the Ravens front seven versus the Titans offensive line. The Titans are number one in the NFL in allowing the fewest sacks, while Baltimore’s defense ranks fifth in sacks. Tennessee has won four straight games against the Ravens and is hoping to win a tough road game in Baltimore before heading to a very winnable road game in Kansas City. Meanwhile Baltimore would love to hand the Titans their first loss before they head to Indianapolis to take on the Colts.
