Why the Ravens can cover
Baltimore has been dominant on defense, led by linebacker Patrick Queen. He has a team-high 79 tackles, including 52 solo, with 6.5 tackles for loss. He has one pass breakup, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, including one for a score. Last week at Pittsburgh, Queen recorded nine tackles.
Rookie linebacker Malik Harrison has also made a major impression early in his career. He is sixth on the team with 36 tackles, including 20 solo, with two tackles for loss and one pass breakup. His best game was an 11-tackle performance at Indianapolis on Nov. 8. In that game, he had six solo stops and was credited with a stuff for two yards.
Why the Cowboys can cover
Dallas has struggled much of the season on defense but has a number of difference-makers, including linebacker Jaylon Smith. Smith leads the team in tackles with 101, including 54 solo, 1.5 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss.
Smith had his second career pick in Week 12 against Washington. He is looking for his 22nd game in a row with five or more tackles and has already recorded his third consecutive 100-plus tackle season.
Safety Xavier Woods led the Cowboys in tackles with 10 against Washington in Week 12. For the season, Woods has registered 57 tackles, including 37 solo. Against AFC North opponents this season, he has 13 tackles.
