Most likely the most important matchup arising in Week 4 of the NFL season will happen on “Sunday Night Football” when the Buffalo Payments go to the Baltimore Ravens.
Although the Payments are 3-0 and have surpassed expectations to this point, the Ravens are 1-2 and having some large points on protection.
This recreation clearly includes a marquee quarterback battle between Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh mentioned he’s “grateful to be a part of it.”
“These are the things that you’re going to look back on and say, ‘Wasn’t that cool to be there for that?’” Harbaugh mentioned, through Jamison Hensley of ESPN.

Allen has been sensational to begin the season and is main the league in passer ranking and QBR, and in a Week 3 blowout win in opposition to the Jacksonville Jaguars, he threw 4 landing passes.
The Payments, regardless of buying and selling away Professional Bowl extensive receiver Stefon Diggs in the course of the offseason, lead the NFL in factors scored, and third-year wideout Khalil Shakir could also be beginning to emerge as a star.
Baltimore had the league’s greatest file final season and was picked by some to succeed in the Tremendous Bowl when this one began, and whereas the Ravens have their issues, operating again Derrick Henry, their large free agent signing within the offseason, is off to a really robust begin.
He has run for 281 yards and 4 touchdowns, and in Week 3 in opposition to the Dallas Cowboys he exploded for 151 speeding yards.
In the meantime, whereas Jackson’s passing stats haven’t been nice, he has run for 254 yards and a landing.
It’s exhausting to name a September recreation a must-win, however this could possibly be simply that for a Ravens workforce that thinks of itself as a legit Tremendous Bowl contender.
