- The Carolina Panthers pass defense has given up the 9th-highest Completion% in the NFL (76.2%) versus tight ends this year (76.2%).
Cons
- The Ravens are a massive 13-point favorite in this week’s game, likely leading to an extreme rushing game script.

- THE BLITZ projects this game to see the 3rd-least plays run on the slate this week at 126.8 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
- The Baltimore Ravens have called the 8th-least plays in the league this year, totaling a lowly 56.2 plays per game.
