However, the Ravens know that they can always get better.</p><p>Which is why Baltimore signed defensive end Yannick Ngakoue <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1846012152491954438" rel="noopener">to their active roster</a>, via Adam Schefter of ESPN. Ngakoue had been on the Ravens’ practice squad.</p><p>He has already appeared in two games for the team in 2024, racking up a tackle, two quarterback hits and a sack. Furthermore, Ngakoue has <a href="https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/yannick-ngakoue/10703" rel="noopener">earned a decent 69.6 grade</a> from Pro Football Focus, relative to his playing time.</p><p>By signing him to the active roster, the Ravens achieve two things. For starters, Ngakoue is a respected defensive lineman, which will help Baltimore’s front line. Furthermore, any other team in the league would’ve been able to sign him off the practice squad. Now, the team ensured Ngakoue doesn’t leave any time soon.</p><p>While <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-lamar-jackson-pick-your-poison-warning">much has been made about Lamar Jackson and the offense</a>, Baltimore’s defense ranks right in the middle of the pack. Literally, the Ravens rank 16th in total defense, allowing 334.7 yards per game. They have excelled against the run, leading the league by allowing just 59 YPG. However, the pass defense has struggled, ranking 31st by allowing 275.7 YPG.</p><p>Yannick Ngakoue won’t be lining up at quarterback anytime soon. However, perhaps his pressure off the line makes things easier on Baltimore’s secondary. The Ravens clearly liked what they saw and think Ngakoue could be a contributor for the remainder of the season.</p><p>It isn’t the first time Baltimore and the defensive end linked up. Ngakoue played for the Ravens back in 2020. That season, the team lost in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Entering Week 7 with a 4-2 record, the Ravens are looking to go much further this time around.

But there’s still work to be done, and here are two overreactions after the Ravens’ victory over the Commanders.</p><p>Included in the mix is quarterback Lamar Jackson. Yes, he’s having a tremendous season so far. But we’ve seen this story before from the two-time AP most valuable player. The question is: Can Jackson put together these same performances and provide leadership that leads the Ravens to the Super Bowl?</p><h2><b>Overreaction #1</b></h2><h2><b>Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has figured it out</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Baltimore-Ravens-QB-Lamar-Jackson_94d98c.jpg"><figcaption>Tommy Gilligan-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>In some ways, this is an unfair overreaction because it can’t be proved right or wrong until the postseason arrives. So consider it a mild overreaction because Jackson has turned on the jets from a performance standpoint in 2024. If the MVP voting occurred today, it might be No. 3 for him.</p><p>Jackson has completed 67% of his passes for 1,529 yards and 10 touchdowns with only two interceptions. The pace represents a career high in yardage (4,332) and the TD pace would be the second-best of his career at 28. His passing TDs have been on the lower side in his seven years in the league because of his rushing-score prowess, and the Ravens commitment to running the ball inside the 10-yard line. On the ground, Jackson has rushed for 403 yards this season, a pace for 1,141 yards, second-best for his career.</p><p>Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Jackson <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/transcripts-press-conference-ravens-vs-commanders-week-6" rel="noopener">did his usual thing</a> in the 30-23 win over the Commanders, according to baltimoreravens.com.</p><p>“I thought Lamar (Jackson) had a great game,” Harbaugh said. “He was on point against man coverage. They were loading the box up against the run and playing a lot of man coverage, which they had not done a lot of throughout the course (of the season). We had a lot of first- and second-down play-action passes up. Guys like Zay (Flowers were) running crossing routes and sail routes away from those guys, and they were on our guys, but (they had) enough separation (and) Lamar dotted it. These guys made contested catches on the run and then made guys miss after the catch, as well.”</p><h2><b>Lamar Jackson still has help from his friends</b></h2><p>Jackson’s job is made easier this year because of the addition of Derrick Henry, and the further emergence of wide receiver Zay Flowers, despite a couple of down games this year. The Ravens are difficult to defend, and the offense is clicking.</p><p>“That’s the offensive story of the game, absolutely,” Harbaugh said of the Commanders’ games. “We didn’t know if they were going to play a lot of man or not, but they did, and I understand why they did. With all the quarterback and the run game stuff, they felt like they had to. They know how to stop stuff; they run those plays, and for Lamar to put those passes where he did, and for the guys to make those plays, was the difference in the game.”</p><p>But Jackson still has to prove his playoff numbers can match the regular season. In six posteason games, he’s hit on only 61% of his passes for 1,324 yards. That’s an average of 220 yards per game. Worst of all, however, is his 6-to-6 touchdown-to-interception ratio. That’s not going to cut it in the postseason.</p><p>Let’s face it, the Ravens had everything lined up in 2023 and still lost to the Chiefs. Jackson and his $260 million contract joined with a defense that led the NFL in sacks and DVOA. So until Jackson plays on Super Bowl Sunday, it’s an overreaction to say he’s figured it out.</p><h2>Overreaction #2</h2><h2><b>Derrick Henry will keep scoring TDs like this</b></h2><p>He’s a beast in an offense that is tough to defend. And when the Ravens get inside the 5-yard line, who’s going to stop that guy behind that line?</p><p>Well, the truth is, it will happen at certain points this season. Some defensive coordinators will overcommit to the run, just to make the Ravens do soemthing else. If all the gaps are full, even Henry’s beastly frame won’t open them all the time.</p><p>With eight scores in six games, and perhaps most impressively a touchdown in six straight games, Henry is off and running with the Ravens. He became the first player since LaDainian Tomlinson in 2005 to score a rushing touchdown in each of his first six games of a season. Henry’s nine total touchdowns through six games are the most in Ravens’ history.</p><p>Need it be said, but defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike anointed Henry <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/derrick-henry-historic-start-baltimore-ravens-commanders#:~:text=Henry%20became%20the%20first%20player,back%20Robert%20Edwards%20in%201998)." rel="noopener">as the best</a>, according to baltimoreravens.com</p><p>“He’s the king,” Madubuike said. “He’s ‘King Henry’ for a reason, and I’m glad he’s on our side.”</p><h2><b>RB Derrick Henry works at his craft</b></h2><p>Henry said he takes pride in being a finisher.</p><p>“I definitely just want to be able to close the game so we can win, and everybody is happy,” Henry said. “And everybody is high-fiving in the locker room. You have to take pride in that — to be able to finish games and have the ball last.”</p><p>Center Tyler Linderbaum added, “In the fourth quarter, when it’s time for us to run the ball and get a first down, that’s how we need to finish games. That’s what good teams do. I think teams preach (finishing) all the time, but he’s certainly a guy that absolutely does it, just with his size and speed. He’s a fun player to play with, and then just having (Jackson) back there as well, it’s challenging for defenses.”</p><p>However, Henry will slow down. His current pace puts him at 26 touchdowns for the season. And while it’s not impossible he will reach that total, he’s 30 years old and only three players in the history of the NFL have scored that many times in a single season. Tomlinson had 28 in 2006, Shaun Alexander totaled 27 im 2005, and Priest Holmes had 27 in 2003.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

We had a lot of first- and second-down play-action passes up. Guys like Zay (Flowers were) running crossing routes and sail routes away from those guys, and they were on our guys, but (they had) enough separation (and) Lamar dotted it. These guys made contested catches on the run and then made guys miss after the catch, as well.”</p><p>Meanwhile, Daniels completed 24 of 35 passes for 269 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He carried six times for 22 yards. Jackson said Daniels is for real.</p><p>“I believe (Jayden Daniels) deserves all the hype he’s getting,” Jackson said. “He played a tremendous game out there. They just came up short. He’s been proving it. His rookie season — first six games he’s been playing amazing.”</p><p>Jackson’s teammate Roquan Smith agreed.</p><p>“Washington is in good hands with (Daniels),” Smith said. “He’s the truth, for sure. He can run it, he can throw it — whatever you want — and for him to come into a hostile environment and perform the way he did, I’ve got much respect for him. He took some licks, too. I heard he was tough as nails, anyway, and even from watching him in college at a couple games, but he showed that. So, much respect and love for that guy.”</p><p>“Just knowing that it’s a rookie quarterback, and you’ve got to lay the hits on him and try to affect him. Because most of the time, when you hit people in a nasty way, you definitely affect them. But the guy is tough as nails. He hopped right back up and kept it going. So, much respect to him, (and) hats off to him.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He was open on the left side of Cincinnati. I told him I gotta get you into the end zone next week. I was ticked off at myself. You was mad at me, too, but you didn’t say nothing about it. He told me, ‘I was mad at you at first.

Along with the touchdown reception, he tied former Ravens star Todd Heap for the most touchdown catches since the team moved to Baltimore with the 41st of his career.</p><p>Ravens coach John Harbaugh recently said Andrews would break out of his quiet games <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/mark-andrews-john-harbaugh-offensive-line-roger-rosengarten-andrew-vorhees-patrick-mekari-arthur-maulet-news-notes-ravens#:~:text=%22Guys%20are%20competitive%20%E2%80%93%20everybody%20wants,about%20it%2C%22%20Harbaugh%20said" rel="noopener">with a big effort</a>, according to baltimoreravens.com..</p><p>“Guys are competitive,” Harbaugh said. “Everybody wants to be the difference because they know that they’re great players. Mark Andrews is a great player. All those guys are special in their own way, but Mark is a star – there’s no doubt about it.</p><p>“The fact that we’re doing well on offense and as a team, and that part hasn’t been expressing itself in the last two weeks gets me kind of excited. Because that’s another weapon that we have that’s going to happen. It’s just part of the versatility of the offense, which is really important.”</p><p>Coming into Sunday’s game, Andrews had totaled only 10 catches for 120 yards. A perhaps even more concerning statistic came from his targets with only 14. But this game likely shows Andrews is ready to embark on a good run.</p><p>Andrews said recently he’s ready <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-ravens-te-mark-andrews-sends-clear-message-to-teammate-lamar-jackson" rel="noopener">to get on track</a>, according the ravens website via bolavip.com.</p><p>“I’m the same player I’ve always been. It’s just balls haven’t come my way,”Andrews said. “I feel great. I think I’m doing a lot of things better than I ever have.”</p><p>Jackson authored another strong game, completing 20 of 26 passes for 323 yards with a touchdown. He also carried 11 times for 40 yards.</p><p>Derrick Henry contributed to the win in a big way, too. He carried 24 times for 132 yards with two touchdowns. Zay Flowers added nine catches for 132 yards. All of those numbers are relevant to the reemergence of Andrews. The Ravens are becoming a difficult team to defend.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He <a href="https://x.com/jamisonhensley/status/1845523710008021004" rel="noopener">became the second player</a> since the 1970 merger with a touchdown in the first six games with his new team.

He led the league in rushing touchdowns. His effort against the Commanders shows he isn’t looking to give up that lead coming out of Week 6.</p><p>While Baltimore already had Lamar Jackson, adding Henry to the mix has given them an even more explosive offense. Before Week 6 they ranked first in total offense, averaging 447.6 yards per game. Their run game also tops the league, averaging 211.2 YPG. No other team has broken the 200 YPG barometer.</p><p>Derrick Henry’s production is <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-derrick-henrys-2-year-16-million-contract-with-ravens">everything and more the Ravens were hoping for</a> when they signed him to a two-year, $16 million contract. But while he has four Pro Bowls, an All-Pro and an Offensive Player of the Year to his name, Henry has yet to compete for a Super Bowl. The Ravens haven’t made the championship since 2012, when they won it all.</p><p>Both sides are hoping their union ends with gold. If Henry continues running as he has, opposing defenses are going to have an even tougher time to stop Baltimore. For as prolific as he was with the Tennessee Titans, it hasn’t taken Henry long to remind the NFL world that he is still one of the best running backs in the entire league.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Maybe so, but if Eric DeCosta is smart, he’ll be sure to leverage that faith with some additional firepower at the trade deadline. Fortunately, there are a few interesting options on the table that could do just that, including a pair of former Pro Bowlers heading towards exits from their current teams.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Darius-Slay-on-the-field-for-the-Eagles_63862f.jpg"><figcaption>Tim Heitman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>1. A sixth-round pick to the Eagles for Darius Slay</b></h2><p>In case you haven’t heard, the Ravens’ passing defense is bad.</p><p>Taking the field at anything but 100 percent, with Arthur Maulet, Jalyn Armour-Davis, Christian Matthew, and Trayvon Mullen all on IR and Marlon Humphrey questionable with an ankle injury, the Ravens’ defense has <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/2024.htm" rel="noopener">allowed an astounding 1,401 yards</a> through the air through five games, a mark only one team has surpassed. Teams have thrown on the Ravens with impunity, attempting 187 on the season, and thus far, that aggressive aerial attack has been rewarded, with opposing QBs completing an average of 66.8 percent of their passes and reaching the endzone nine times for good measure.</p><p>Sure, the Ravens will get healthier as the season goes on – unless they suffer even more injuries – and could rebound if young players like Nate Wiggins step up, but even at full strength, do they have enough depth to really contend with the best teams the AFC has to offer on the way to the Super Bowl? It certainly doesn’t sound like it.</p><p>Fortunately, there is a defensive back on the market who could not only help to boost the Ravens’ depth but one they’ve <a href="https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/darius-slay-real-reason-raven-late-for-work-news-patrick-queen-patrick-ricard" rel="noopener">actually shown interest in in the past in Darius Slay</a>, the Philadelphia Eagles cornerback set to take the field in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns.</p><p>Now, on paper, Slay is having a bad year under new defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. He’s allowed 1<a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SlayDa00.htm" rel="noopener">4 catches on 21 targets for 129 yards</a> and two touchdowns, and even his on-ball production is slightly down, defensive just two passes through four games. Factor in the exciting young cornerbacks on the Eagles roster in Quinyon Mitchell, Cooper DeJean, Kelee Ringo, and Isaiah Rodgers, and it’s entirely possible Howie Roseman would be willing to let Slay go even for a mid-Day 3 pick like a sixth-rounder.</p><p>If the two teams work something out that makes sense financially, Slay could be a fantastic late-career addition to Zach Orr’s defense and potentially help to add some playmaking to a secondary that has recorded just three turnovers in 2024.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Josh-Jones-on-the-field-for-the-Ravens.jpg"><figcaption>Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>2. Josh Jacobs, a fourth to the Browns for Amari Cooper</b></h2><p>When the Ravens signed Josh Jacobs this offseason, it felt like a fantastic buy-low opportunity to add a top-40 left tackle to the roster on the cheap.</p><p>On paper, Jacobs is a player who should vastly outperform his<a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JoneJo07.htm" rel="noopener"> sub-$2 million price tag</a>, as he’s earned snaps at both tackle spots and guard at the NFL level since being drafted in the third round out of Houston back in 2020 but he’s really only shined as a left tackle in reserve duty, with his efforts at his three other positions producing far less effective results.</p><p>So, if Jacobs is more of a one-position backup than a four-position reserve, and Ronnie Stanley has played 99.42 percent of the Ravens’ snaps in 2024, could they consider moving off of the journeyman’s contract if it brings back a more immediate contributor?</p><p>Well, considering the Browns’ need at tackle after placing James Hudson III and Hakeem Adeniji on IR, Jacobs might just be the sweetener needed to get a deal done for Amari Cooper, who is the sort of calming veteran presence who could boost the Ravens’ passing game down the stretch.</p><p>Now granted, could the Browns refuse to make a trade out of principle? Sure, that has happened plenty of times in the past and will continue to happen well into the future, but considering where the Ravens sit in 2024, how ineffective the Browns’ passing game has been this season, and how motivated both teams could be to right the ship, such a deal could be mutually beneficial.</p><p>At 30, with his contract <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/16728/amari-cooper" rel="noopener">set to expire at the end of the season</a>, Cooper likely won’t call Cleveland home after the Super Bowl and will be allowed to leave for the low-low price of a comp pick in the future. Trading him for a more immediate pick, plus a versatile lineman with untapped potential, could be enticing enough to convince the Browns to break with tradition in order to shore up their present and future, especially with Nick Chubb returning to the field in the not-too-distant future.</p><p>And for the Ravens? Well, Cooper would, at worst, be their second-best receiver and could quickly become Lamar Jackson’s best friend as he looks to round out his offense in 2024.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/TreDavious-White-on-the-field-for-the-Rams-1.jpg"><figcaption>Matt Kartozian-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><h2><b>Bonus: sign Tre’Davious White if he gets released</b></h2><p>If the Ravens don’t want to trade an asset for Slay but would still like to pursue a veteran upgrade on the defensive line, there’s a chance they could have their cake and eat it too in the form of Tre’Davious White, the former Ravens All-Pro who has largely disappointed with the Rams.</p><p>Now granted, White is still technically a member of the Rams and may finish out the season on the 53-man roster as a veteran reserve if they start to pick up steam in the month before the deadline. But considering he was a<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sean-mcvay-explains-rams-decision-to-bench-tredavious-white-in-week-5" rel="noopener"> healthy scratch in Week 5</a> following the return of Darious Williams, it looks like White may follow Devin White – unrelated – on the way to a mid-season release and, thus, could sign wherever he pleases moving forward.</p><p>A press-man corner with an insane pedigree in both the NFL and NCAA, White is no longer the lockdown cornerback who can operate on an island by himself, but with some help over the top? Paired up with a strong pass rush – which the Ravens have – and who knows, maybe White could be 75 percent of Slay for a fraction of the price.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Ravens fans <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41303328/baltimore-ravens-two-loss-start-whats-gone-wrong-john-harbaugh" rel="noopener">were beginning to sweat after starting the 2024 season with two straight losses</a>. Now <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41303328/baltimore-ravens-two-loss-start-whats-gone-wrong-john-harbaugh">Baltimore is on a three-game winning streak</a> and looking like the only dominant team in the AFC North.</p><p>Baltimore is in the unfortunate position of having to play one of the NFL’s hottest teams in Week 6. The Washington Commanders are coming to town, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-jayden-daniels-draws-bold-lamar-jackson-mvp-take-from-emmanuel-acho">led by rookie QB Jayden Daniels</a>. Daniels is truly having a rookie season for the ages through five weeks. Washington has dominated some inferior competition, so they will receive a true acid test by playing the Ravens in front of their home crowd.</p><p>Will the Ravens take care of business on Sunday?</p><p>Below we will discuss three Ravens bold predictions ahead of their spicy Week 6 matchup against the Commanders.</p><p><b>*Watch NFL games LIVE with fuboTV (</b><a href="https://www.fubo.tv/lp/football/?irad=356362&amp;irmp=492408"><b>click for free trial</b></a><b>)*</b></p><h2><b>Ravens’ Lamar Jackson wins QB duel with rookie Jayden Daniels</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Ravens-Lamar-Jackson-evading-Cincinnati-Bengals-defenders.jpg"><figcaption>© Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Ravens have a dominant offense, but they haven’t had to ask much out of Lamar Jackson through five weeks. However, that all changed last week against the Bengals.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-slaps-cincinnati-harsh-reality-collapse-ravens">Baltimore and Cincinnati got into a shootout in Week 5</a> and Lamar Jackson showed up big for his team. Jackson threw for 348 yards and four touchdowns while also adding 12 carries for 55 rushing yards.</p><p>The most encouraging part of this performance was that everyone on offense was involved, even players like Charlie Kolar, Tylan Wallace, and Rashod Bateman who do not always put up good numbers.</p><p>There is no reason to doubt that Lamar Jackson can ride that momentum into Week 6 against the Commanders. If the Commanders try to make this game into a track meet, Lamar is willing and able to keep up with Jayden Daniels.</p><p>My prediction: Lamar Jackson will throw for more passing yards and have more first downs gained (rushing + passing) than Jayden Daniels.</p><h2><b>Ravens lean on Derrick Henry, running game to pound Commanders defense</b></h2><p>The Ravens don’t always need to have a complicated game plan. Baltimore should be more than content to hand the ball off to Derrick Henry early and often against the Commanders.</p><p>It is no secret that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-derrick-henry-gets-real-on-cowboys-doubting-that-he-could-still-play">Derrick Henry is a special talent at the running back position</a>. Henry inflicts damage on a defense that seems to stack up over time, exhausting his opponents with his bruising running style.</p><p>Henry is bad news for a Commanders defense that does feature some talent in its front seven, but not nearly enough to bottle up the league’s best runner. Washington will get a taste of its own medicine in Week 6, going up against an offense with a strong running game <i>and </i>a mobile QB.</p><p>The Commanders are in for a tough day on defense unless they can play a perfect game. I simply don’t see that happening.</p><p>My prediction: Derrick Henry will rumble for over 125 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown against the Commanders. In true Derrick Henry fashion, this will include one explosive run of at least 35 yards that breaks the back of the Commanders defense in a crucial part of the game.</p><h2><b>Baltimore’s defense forces multiple turnovers from rookie QB Jayden Daniels in close game</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Baltimore-Ravens-LB-Roquan-Smith.jpg"><figcaption>Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-jayden-daniels-jersey-boom-amid-historic-rookie-season">Jayden Daniels may be one of the most impressive rookies we’ve ever seen</a> through five weeks, but he is still a rookie.</p><p>The Ravens would be wise to come up with a game plan that focuses on confusing and harassing Daniels. This could be Baltimore’s best chance at winning this game. If the Ravens can force the Commanders to be inefficient in the passing game, that will limit their scoring potential.</p><p>Even if Washington decides to control the clock and keep the ball on the ground, that’s fine too. Baltimore is more than capable of putting up a solid run defense, especially against Washington’s personnel. They would also be more than happy to deploy the same strategy against the Commanders, bruising them with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson for the entire afternoon.</p><p>So how can Baltimore make this happen?</p><p>The Ravens need to cook up an aggressive game plan that confuses Jayden Daniels with disguised coverages and pressures him with a ton of blitzes. Daniels may be able to weather the storm in some situations, but he is bound to make some crucial mistakes as well.</p><p>My prediction: I see the Ravens forcing Jayden Daniels into at least two turnovers, which should be the difference in this game.

Baltimore is 3-2 heading into Week 6 and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-ravens-lamar-jackson-dissatisfaction-win-vs-bengals">they are on a hot streak after losing their first two games</a>. The Ravens just got a concerning injury update about <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-lamar-jackson-jokes-marlon-humphrey-training-camp-interceptions">one of their best defensive backs</a>.</p><p>Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey <a href="https://x.com/bsmolka/status/1844078901582234005" rel="noopener">was not on the practice field on Wednesday</a>, per Bo Smolka of PressBox. Humphrey suffered an injury against the Bengals in Week 5 and was seen wearing a walking boot after the game. Now his status for Week 6 is becoming an open question.</p><p>Humphrey has been a reliable playmaker for the Ravens on defense. He has two interceptions through five games and has made several crucial stops on third downs.</p><p>The Ravens would be in trouble if they are without Marlon Humphrey for any amount of time. Baltimore would have to lean heavily on Brandon Stephens and rookie Nate Wiggins with Humphrey out of the lineup. T.J. Tampa may also get more snaps if Humphrey is out in Week 6.</p><p>Ravens fans should keep their eyes peeled for additional practice reports for the rest of the week. This will provide more insight into the severity of Humphrey’s injury.</p><h2><b>Ravens preparing for a red-hot Commanders team in Week 6</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Lamar-Jackson-with-Baltimore-Ravens-4.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Here’s something you wouldn’t have expected to read before the season: <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/schedule/upcoming">Baltimore should be worried about playing Washington on Sunday</a>.</p><p>The Commanders are one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now. Washington is 4-1 heading into Week 6 and have absolutely dominated most of their opponents.</p><p>Washington is led by rookie QB Jayden Daniels, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-jaylen-daniels-more-nfl-history-week-5-browns">who is smashing record after record throughout his rookie season</a>. The Commanders have a high-powered offense that is equally dangerous throwing the ball as it is pounding the rock. Their defense may not be world class, but it has been enough to keep them in ball games so far.</p><p>The Ravens will provide the ultimate acid test for the Commanders. Baltimore may not have a better record, but they have put together complete performances every single week this season. The Ravens are loaded with talent on both sides of the ball and have a dynamic running QB to match the Commanders.</p><p>Baltimore should have the edge in this game. They will be playing in front of their home crowd, which is always a good place to start. The Ravens also have a coaching advantage with John Harbaugh being one of the most consistent and reliable coaches in the NFL right now. This is no knock on Dan Quinn, who is a solid coach in his own right.</p><p>The Ravens and Commanders will do battle on Sunday at 1PM ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Along with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/angel-reese-cant-wait-to-share-a-different-side-with-launch-of-podcast">starting her own podcast</a>, Reese has enjoyed her time traveling and attending NFL games with the Chicago Sky eliminated from the playoffs.</p><p>As a Baltimore native who currently lives in Chicago as a member of the Sky, Reese actively supports both the Bears and Ravens. She has attended home games for both teams and <a href="https://x.com/Reese10Angel/status/1843018792030667148" rel="noopener">has taken notice</a> of each game that she has been to ending in a blowout win.</p><p>“Every game I’ve been to has been a blowout,” Reese tweeted. “I’m just sayingggg.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">i’m from baltimore but i live in chicago. this ain’t no tour sorry! <a href="https://t.co/5nkvkvGNaP">https://t.co/5nkvkvGNaP</a></p><p>— Angel Reese (@Reese10Angel) <a href="https://twitter.com/Reese10Angel/status/1842991435345453421?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Reese was last in Solider Field on Oct. 6 for the Bears’ Week 5 home game against the Carolina Panthers. The game featured the highly anticipated breakout of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns in a 36-10 win for the Bears.</p><p>The last time the Sky forward was present at an NFL game was in the M&amp;T Bank Stadium in Baltimore on Sept. 29 when the Ravens <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/why-ravens-blowout-victory-bills-proves-true-super-bowl-contender">blew out the Bills 35-10</a> in Week 4.

As one of the Chicago Sky’s first-round picks with the No. 7 selection, Reese was one of two rookies — joining Caitlin Clark — to be selected to the 2024 WNBA All-Star game.</p><p>Reese started all 34 games she appeared in and averaged 13.6 points, 13.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocks while quickly developing a reputation for being one of the best rebounders in the league. She set the record for most consecutive double-doubles with 10, passing Tina Charles and Cindy Brown.</p><p>That would not be the only record Reese broke, as the former LSU Tiger’s 446 total rebounds set a new league record for the most in a single season. Reese set the new record in a Sept. 1 game against the Minnesota Lynx on the road.</p><p>However, for as dominant as Reese has been on the glass, she has been criticized for her inefficiency near the rim with a 39.1 percent field goal percentage on the year. Her jump shot was also practically nonexistent as she ended her season with a mere 18.8 percent from three-point range. Reese made just one three-pointer on the year in her final game of the season against the Los Angeles Sparks.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They shifted the game’s momentum with a safety against Henry, followed by a burst of 15 unanswered points. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bengals-news-joe-burrow-new-career-high-explosion-ravens">Joe Burrow, showing no signs of past injuries</a>, threw incredible passes with precision, including a <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/lamar-jackson-derrick-henry-lead-ravens-to-massive-chaotic-win-over-joe-burrow-bengals-203407894.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAHjOsaBa_y7cQHf96QSQiM7WJmj_TiFJqTeXsGjvXlmvIxmP9CuHH0jBWLcPeMZQyGwADnU8CgUiGtfEYYpXzpqwYqSyPameNp9UVCFDqMiYpLArL-xwLvmFHXsKEXgm8yUTlCmyUjZOeeeQw1FgluoiJMo2pFdcWUFbeH7MkONd" rel="noopener">41-yard touchdown</a> to Ja’Marr Chase and a crucial setup to Tee Higgins, which displayed Cincinnati’s explosive potential.</p><p>The game escalated into a high-scoring affair in the second half, with both teams trading touchdowns. Jackson himself engineered a remarkable sequence, turning a potential disaster into a dazzling touchdown pass. Nevertheless, the match spiraled into chaos with officials’ decisions affecting the flow, most notably when they penalized the Bengals for a delay-of-game despite not allowing them to snap the ball.</p><p>In the final quarter, Burrow’s interception gave the Ravens a chance to even the score, leading to a 56-yard field goal by Justin Tucker to tie the game at 38-38. Overtime brought more drama; Jackson fumbled a snap in a critical drive, nearly costing the Ravens the game. However, after the Bengals failed to capitalize on this with a missed field goal by Evan McPherson, Henry’s robust 51-yard run set the stage for Tucker to clinch the game with a field goal.</p><p>Jackson’s mixed feelings stem from the game’s chaotic and erratic nature, including his own mistakes that nearly led to a loss. Despite the victory, the uneven performance seemed to dampen the excitement for Jackson, who expects higher standards of play.</p><p>The win, while thrilling, highlighted areas of concern and relief for the Ravens. It propelled them to their third consecutive victory after a rocky start to the season, with the team’s offense finding rhythm but also displaying vulnerabilities that need addressing.</p><p>Looking forward, the Ravens have a series of challenging games, with Jackson likely keen on refining their play to maintain their winning streak. Meanwhile, the Bengals face a tough road ahead to salvage their season, underscored by this heartbreaking loss despite Burrow’s standout performance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Reigning MVP and former Louisville football standout Lamar Jackson looks to help his team continue improving. However, Jackson and teammate Malik Cunningham became comical subjects after their alma mater’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/notre-dame-football-news-marcus-freeman-completely-honest-win-louisville">loss to Notre Dame in late September</a>.</p><p>The Cardinals took a 31-24 loss to Notre Dame on Sep. 28, Louisville’s first of the 2024 college football season. Of course, Lamar Jackson and Malik Cunningham played for the Cardinals, so they were not pleased with the outcome, but Fighting Irish fans were.</p><p>Jackson and Cunningham were <a href="https://twitter.com/melissaykim/status/1842639234693292171" rel="noopener">spotted wearing Lepurchan outfits</a> following Louisville’s loss to pay penance for the defeat:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">I am HOWLING. 🤣</p><p>Louisville guys Lamar Jackson and Malik Cunningham paying penance for the Cardinals loss to Notre Dame last week.</p><p>The fact that it’s not just a Notre Dame shirt but a WHOLE LEPRECHAUN OUTFIT. 💀</p><p>(shoutout Ronnie Stanley/Malik for posting this) <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RavensFlock?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#RavensFlock</a> <a href="https://t.co/jSNsiY4Tqk">pic.twitter.com/jSNsiY4Tqk</a></p><p>— Melissa Y.

The Cardinals are fresh off a 34-27 defeat to the Mustangs. Nevertheless, there is plenty of football left for them to put more wins in their column. The Ravens are trying to do the same.</p><p>After dropping their first two games to the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore got wins against the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills. The Ravens are preparing for another important matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.</p><p>It is no secret the Ravens are Bengals are not fond of each other, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-roquan-smith-drops-truth-bomb-bengals-beef">Roquan smith dropped a truth bomb</a> on the rivalry a few days before the game:</p><p>“It’s a highly anticipated game,” Smith said, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “It is (a) a division game at the end of the day.

Truth be told, they don’t like us and we don’t like them.”</p><p>Surely, Lamar Jackson and company will do their best to come out on top.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As it’s been even floated by <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-mike-florio-floats-tyreek-hill-trade-to-chiefs">Mike Florio of the idea of the Chiefs trading for Hill</a>, they do have the <a href="https://x.com/cpbetting/status/1842272662069952909?s=46&amp;t=DSzXjOsCkjGGL6Uu_i6CUQ" rel="noopener">most likely odds at +300 along with</a> the Baltimore Ravens according to BetOnline.</p><p>Kansas City obviously would be interesting since it’ll be a reunion between the two since the wide receiver spent the first six seasons of his career with them where along with Travis Kelce, he was Patrick Mahomes’ favorite weapon. Also, they are now in desperate need of an explosive receiver and boost in offense since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/chiefs-news-place-rashee-rice-ir-amid-crucial-waiting-period">the Chiefs maybe lost Rashee Rice for the season</a> along with the extended absence of running back Isiah Pacheco.</p><p>As for Baltimore, they are always in need of a true No. 1 wide receiver to pair alongside Zay Flowers as besides Hill, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raiders-news-davante-adams-ravens-trade-rumblings-cryptic-edgar-allan-poe">Ravens are also connected to Las Vegas Raiders star Davante Adams</a> since he has recently requested a trade.

We’ve got a great situation here, my family loves it, I enjoy it, the weather is great, the fans are great. So we’ve got a beautiful situation here. Obviously, my parents always taught me control the controllables, and I only can control so much. So with that being said, we all know the NFL is a business. Whatever happens, happens. Moving forward, I would love to be here. I love being here, I love the guys, I love my locker mate, Jevón Holland, he’s a maniac. He’s the guy. He brings me nice snacks sometimes.”</p><p>At any rate, the Dolphins are 1-3 and are hoping to keep the ship afloat until star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returns in Week 8. The next game will be Sunday as they face the New England Patriots, hoping to bounce back after the frustrating loss to the Tennessee Titans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With having someone like Adams, there’s no doubt that the Ravens and Lamar Jackson would make it a priority to get him going.</p><p>It’s been noted that <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-aaron-rodgers-davante-adams-jets-reunion-major-raiders-roadblock">Adams would like to be traded to the Jets</a> to reunite with Aaron Rodgers, but the Raiders also want to do what’s best for their team, which means they’ll want to get the best package in return for him.</p><p>“While the Raiders could trade Adams to the Jets, they will do what’s best for their organization, sources say, including taking the best deal from the highest bidder. Hearing same as [Ian Rapoport]– on that — Raiders honoring the trade request but not letting him drive completely,” Mike Garafolo tweeted on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>Adams also mentioned the Saints, where he could reunite with Derek Carr. The Dallas Cowboys were also a team interested in Adams, according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini.</p><p>“The Jets and Cowboys are among the many teams monitoring the Davante Adams situation,” Russini wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Both have checked in with the Raiders. I’m told at this point that Vegas is in no rush to make a move until a team reaches their asking price — but Adams wants out ASAP.”</p><p>As of now, it looks like it will be a wait-and-see approach as to what team steps up and offers the best package for Adams.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
