Ravens are more physical
Sure, the Titans beat the New England Patriots last week. But if you watched any of that game it was apparent New England wasn’t very interested in playing physical football. From blocking, shedding blocks and trying to tackle running back Derrick Henry, the Patriots were beat up for all 60 minutes.
Tennessee isn’t going to be facing the same finesse type of team they did last week. In fact, Baltimore’s entire strategy revolves around physical, aggressive, smack-you-in-the-mouth football that most teams can’t handle. And based on the Titans’ record, they’re not all that great at dealing with it either, losing to other physical teams like the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans.
If this game comes down to which team can be most physical upfront, that’s going to lead to the Ravens putting a whoopin’ on yet another opponent.
