Between physical AFC Central battles and recent playoff matchups, the Baltimore Ravens (3-2) and Tennessee Titans (2-3) are far from strangers. The Ravens are this game’s designated visitors after a tough home loss to Pittsburgh last Sunday. Tennessee will also try to bounce back from a division loss after dropping Sunday’s game against the Colts.
Both franchises are seeking their first London win when they take the field this weekend. Who will successfully rebound from a loss in Week 6?

Key Stats
Ravens Key Stats
Last week, Baltimore Ravens receivers were credited with seven drops in a shocking loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite that, Lamar Jackson is fifth league-wide in completion percentage (69.9%) and 13th in yards per pass attempt (7.2). Six of Baltimore’s eight giveaways have been charged to Jackson, but he’s been efficient through the air thus far.
With his legs, the Ravens are always a threat to dominate on the ground, too. Baltimore is gaining 146.0 yards per game (4th), running the ball and racking up 4.5 yards per carry (10th). They’re putting up 21.8 points per contest, with at least 25 points in three games this year. Kicker Justin Tucker (his career 90.2% accuracy on field goals is the highest rate in NFL history) helps them frequently secure points when Baltimore can’t finish drives.
On the defensive side of the ball, only one team has been stingier than Baltimore. Giving up 15.0 points per game and 3.9 yards per play (also 2nd in the NFL), the Ravens are nearly impossible to move the ball on. They have a takeaway in four of their five games, along with holding three of those teams under 20 points.
Through the air, Baltimore’s opponents are only gaining 5.3 yards per pass attempt, the best mark in the league. This group also has 18 sacks already. On the ground, Baltimore is holding foes to 3.6 yards per carry (6th).
Titans Key Stats
Tennessee’s defense has also been firm, holding enemies to 18.6 points per game. That’s the ninth-best average in the NFL right now. They have 14 sacks and four takeaways entering this game, neither of which are earth-shattering numbers, but they have managed to keep games competitive.
It starts with stopping the run, as the Titans only surrender 3.6 yards per carry (7th). Things are a lot shakier in the air, where Tennessee is giving up 8.1 yards per attempt (29th) and a completion percentage of 71.8% (28th). Forcing incompletions on third downs will be the key for Tennessee in London.

— Tennessee Titans (@Titans) October 8, 2023
An offense that’s been consistently reliant on Derrick Henry’s rushing hasn’t had that luxury this year. Henry is only averaging 3.8 yards per rush (the team, including Henry, is at 4.2), and 65.6 rushing yards per game. The diminishing efficiency on the ground is only leading to 17.6 points per game.
Despite getting sacked 17 times (28th) and five interceptions that comprise all of Tennessee’s giveaways, the Titans are gaining 7.3 yards per pass attempt. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill is only 26th in pass attempts, but he and offseason addition DeAndre Hopkins have made the aerial attack an efficient unit. What’s next for this offense is fixing the running game and finding the end zone more frequently.
Game Prediction
Assuming that the Ravens receivers remember how to catch a football, this is their game to lose. Lamar Jackson will keep Tennessee busy trying to solve the run, which will give Baltimore’s improved passing game plenty of space to thrive. Against this Titans’ defense that gets gashed through the air, the Ravens will put up points across the pond.
Baltimore’s defense shouldn’t have any issues smothering Tennessee’s offense. The Titans give up a lot of sacks, don’t run efficiently, and Ryan Tannehill is prone to throwing interceptions. No defense has been better at defending passes than the Ravens entering Week 6, while only five allow fewer yards per carry. The Titans don’t score, while Baltimore doesn’t allow many points. Expect a heavy dose of purple on Sunday morning.
