In Week 14 Youth Ronnie Stanley Jersey , the Ravens aim to extend their winning streak in a difficult road environment against the class of the AFC. Kansas City’s league best scoring offense, fueled by gifted quarterback Patrick Mahomes under the tutelage of Andy Reid, has carried them to a 10-2 record. Baltimore’s top ranked defense will encounter an electric group of playmakers that are averaging 37 points per game.The all-time series between these franchises is tied at four apiece, yet surprisingly the Ravens are undefeated at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs won the most recent meeting 34-14 over an injury depleted 2015 Ravens squad. Oddsmakers list Baltimore as touchdown underdogs and set the point total at 53, implying a final score of Chiefs 30-23. Since 2016, John Harbaugh has not fared well when the opposition is favored by more than a field goal, the Ravens are winless in seven tries under these circumstances. Reid has recently earned a 7-1 mark in the final month of the regular season, along with a 17-6 home record. Nonetheless, Kansas City allowed 17 fourth quarter points to the dreadful Raiders last week in a closer than expected victory and lost significant firepower due to the suspension of tailback Kareem Hunt. If the Ravens defense can generate a couple of takeaways and the offense can sprinkle a few successful deep passes into their new ball-control identity, they have a puncher’s chance to pull off the upset. Three key matchups:RB Gus Edwards vs LB Anthony HitchensEdwards no nonsense running style has been a major boon for the Ravens in recent weeks. He has averaged more than five yards per carry in a workhorse role over the past three games while breaking a tremendous number of tackles. Baltimore relies on his downhill rushes to stay ahead of the sticks.Kansas City signed Hitchens away from the Cowboys on a 5-year Youth Maxx Williams Jersey , $45 million contract in March precisely for his ability to stuff the run. While he does lead the defense in tackles with 96, the acquisition has not made the desired impact. The Chiefs 5.1 yards allowed per carry is tied for the worst average and their 14 rushing scores allowed is fourth worst in the NFL.The Ravens resurgent ground attack has been instrumental to their improvement since the Week 10 bye. They will need another productive outing from the undrafted rookie in order to keep pace with Kansas City.CB Marlon Humphrey vs WR Tyreek HillBaltimore’s defense was dominant in Atlanta last week, but the Chiefs are a greater challenge, primarily due to vastly superior play calling. The Ravens do field the personnel to stop the run and limit their secondary receiving options. However, the Ravens have struggled to mark tight ends all season and will now face the most potent mismatch in the league. With no realistic answer, coordinator Martindale will be forced to accept a big game from Travis Kelce.This dynamic makes Tyreek Hill the x-factor. Perhaps the fastest man in the NFL, Hill is unstoppable downfield, posting a dozen touchdowns along with 17 yards per reception and over 100 yards per game in 2018. Fortunately, Humphrey is currently playing at a Pro Bowl level and also possesses impressive speed.Humphrey’s main objective should be preventing Hill from getting behind him. Preventing explosive plays will give the defense an opportunity to hold Mahomes to field goals. OT Ronnie Stanley vs OLB Justin HoustonIt will be necessary to do some damage through the air versus the Chiefs bottom ranked pass defense. And for as porous as they have been in terms of yardage, Kansas City’s 39 sacks are the second most in the league. Houston http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/nick-boyle-jersey-authentic , a former All-Pro, has provided ample pressure and multiple turnovers since returning from a midseason injury. Several capable pass rushers require extra blockers, including outside linebacker Dee Ford and defensive end Chris Jones who each have 10.5 sacks this season, so Baltimore can not afford to devote extra resources to Houston.Ronnie Stanley will be tasked with stonewalling the edge defender. The blindside protector is in the midst of his finest professional season but has struggled at times against powerful sack artists. Keeping the Chiefs out of the backfield should promote better ball security. Ultimately, the turnover battle will prove pivotal. OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Lamar Jackson has gotten most of the headlines, yet the former Louisville quarterback is merely one of several rookies whose contributions have helped the Baltimore Ravens move within striking distance of the AFC North title.Jackson, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner and 32nd overall pick in the draft, has won five or six since replacing veteran Joe Flacco at quarterback in mid-November. Undrafted running back Gus Edwards, right tackle Orlando Brown and tight ends Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews have also fortified a revamped offense that's averaging 25 points per game with Jackson calling the plays."There are a bunch of kids out there Youth Maurice Canady Jersey ," 34-year-old guard Marshal Yanda said. "When I look out in the huddle and (31-year-old receiver Michael) Crabtree isn't out there, I feel like I'm a dinosaur." With a victory over Cleveland (7-7-1) on Sunday, the Ravens will win the division for the first time since 2012 and end a three-year playoff drought. Baltimore (9-6) put itself in this position with a 22-10 upset over the Chargers last Saturday.After the Ravens fell behind 13-10 in the third quarter, Jackson and Andrews connected on a 68-yard touchdown pass to put Baltimore ahead for good. Brown helped with the pass protection and Hurst ran an underneath route that helped Andrews get open."It was awesome. You dream of plays like that, especially as a rookie," Andrews said Wednesday. "Lamar threw an incredible ball. Right over the linebacker, right in stride. It really made my job easy. And the blocking up front was great."Edwards did his part with a 92-yard rushing performance, upping his total to 578 since taking over for injured Alex Collins on the same day Jackson stepped in as a starter.Hurst has yet to live up to his potential as the 25th overall pick, in part because he had foot surgery over the summer and got off to a slow start. But as a group, the Ravens rookies deserve high marks."Very talented guys http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/alex-collins-jersey-authentic , and they've worked really hard," coach John Harbaugh said. "They've earned their way into the starting lineup and have maintained that position by playing well. The rookie class has done a really good job."The 6-foot-8, 345-pound Brown played a reserve role over the first six weeks before getting his first NFL start on Oct. 21. The former Oklahoma standout has started every game since."He's definitely doing really well. I'm proud of him," Yanda said. "He's kept his head down and keeps grinding. It hasn't been too big or too much for him. I respect that."The final draft by general manager Ozzie Newsome, who will retire after the season, began with Hurst before a trade landed Jackson. Brown and Andrews followed as third-rounders before Newsome selected cornerback Anthony Averett and linebacker Kenny Young, both of whom subsequently made their mark on special teams.Sixth-round pick Bradley Bozeman has played 13 games on the offensive line with one start.A year ago, the Ravens needed only to beat Cincinnati in the season finale to reach the playoffs. The situation this year is eerily similar, and the hope all along has been that the newcomers would help Baltimore clear the final obstacle."Right away the older guys, and even us Youth Willie Snead IV Jersey , saw we could have an impact on this team," said Andrews, who has 30 catches for 498 yards and three scores. "They were close last year. They were one game away, and they brought us in here to win this last game."The rookies gathered in spring to begin the process. Three draft picks —safety DeShon Elliott, tackle Greg Senat and receiver Jaleel Scott — are on injured reserve. The rest could be playing football into February."We got here like May 3 and I feel like we've been here forever," Brown said. "It's been a grind.Next year should be easier, and the hope is that the rookies will benefit from the experience."We aren't playing our best football as a group. That's still years down the road," Brown said. "But it's a blessing to have the opportunity to go out there and play on Sundays."
