Cole Beasley vs. Marlon Humphrey

Let’s keep the momentum rolling with a Bills receiver matching up against a Ravens cornerback, shall we?

Cole Beasley has been tremendous form in recent weeks. In the past two weeks against the Denver Broncos and the Dallas Cowboys, Beasley has 12 catches for 186 yards and two touchdowns. Beasley has been effective on third down and has created consistent separation from his defenders which has given quarterback Josh Allen a nice safety blanket. Beasley will be lining up against the underrated talent Marlon Humphrey

The cornerback doesn’t get the same attention because he lines up next to Marcus Peters. Humphrey has put up some impressive stats this season, he has broken up nine passes, he has two interceptions, and has forced two fumbles. Humphrey’s interceptions came early in the season, the first came against Miami in their season opener, and the second came against the struggling Bengals. 

If Beasley can exploit Humphrey’s somewhat struggling form, the Bills will have the ability to move the ball against this vaunted Ravens defense.
