The Baltimore Ravens secured a crucial road win over the Los Angeles Chargers, with John Harbaugh beating his brother Jim for the third time. The Ravens now face a tough opponent in the Philadelphia Eagles, led by Saquon Barkley, who is having an MVP-caliber season. Barkley set a single-game franchise record for rushing yards with 255, and is on pace to beat Adrian Peterson’s 2012 rushing season.
The Ravens’ star defender, Kyle Hamilton, acknowledged the challenge ahead, saying “a lot of teams have tried and failed at it this season.” Hamilton believes that preparation and mental focus will be key to beating the Eagles, who own the top rushing attack in the league. The Ravens, meanwhile, are averaging 426.7 yards per game, thanks in part to the addition of Derrick Henry this offseason.
Hamilton emphasized the importance of dominating time of possession, saying “if you dominate time of possession, you win the game.” The Ravens’ offense, led by Lamar Jackson and Henry, will look to control the clock and keep Barkley and the Eagles’ offense off the field. The two teams will meet on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. in Baltimore, with the top two running backs in the league set to clash.
