Baltimore is going off a thrilling win at Detroit, thanks to a 66-yard field goal as time expired -- the longest in history. The Ravens didn't have a letdown after a thrilling win over the a week prior, and are tied for first in the AFC North at 2-1. Baltimore holds the league's top rushing attack and is on pace
Mike Scott Jersey for his third consecutive 1,000-yard season (83.7 yards per game).How can Denver upset Baltimore? Can the Ravens stop the Broncos momentum?

Baltimore has rushed for 100 yards in 42 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in NFL history -- just one behind the 1974 to 1977 for the all-time record. Baltimore
Justin Verlander Jersey leads the league in rushing with 185.3 rushing yards per game with the three headed monster of Lamar Jackson, and . Jackson has 251 rushing yards after three games, on pace for 1,422 yards this season -- which would be the most for a quarterback in league history. The Ravens are averaging 5.7 yards per carry, first in the NFL.If there's any team that can slow down the Ravens, it's the Broncos. Denver has allowed the second-fewest rushing yards in the league (59.3 a game) and the run defense averages 3.6 yards per carry. Denver has a front seven that can challenge the point of attack and contain Baltimore's backs, but will the Broncos be able to slow down Jackson as well? If the Ravens can control time of po se sion, they could be a handful as the game wears on. Teddy Bridgewater vs. Ravens pre sureGive Bridgewater a ton of credit for Denver's 3-0 start.

The Broncos can compete with the Ravens thanks to their defense, even though Bridgewater faces a much tougher test in Baltimore's front seven. Don't be surprised if this was a low scoring affair. If Baltimore can control the clock and run the ball at will, the Ravens should win. Hard to bet against Baltimore's run game.Ravens 24, Broncos 20
