4 Ravens to watch against the Bills

Bills quarterback Josh Allen often looks to his top receiver, John Brown, for big plays. Brown leads Buffalo in targets, completions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns this season while having the best yard-per-reception average of any major player on the roster. But the Ravens have their own weapon on defense and he’s been known for making big plays of his own.

Against the Bills, Peters could be primed for another big game and another visit to the end zone. With Allen’s inexperience mixed with Baltimore’s more confusing and aggressive scheme, we could see Buffalo’s quarterback throw a pass a little too late Brown’s way. As we’ve seen twice this season, Peters can easily turn those throws into pick-sixes.

Regardless, if Peters and company are able to limit what the big play damage from Brown, they should be able to shut down the Bills’ offense easily enough. But as we saw last week against the San Francisco 49ers, Baltimore can play well 75% of the time but let big plays keep teams in the game.
