Why Lamar Jackson and the Ravens can cover
Baltimore has two corners who have been making plays on the ball. Anthony Averett is tied for second on the team with 39 total tackles, including 32 solo. Averett is tied for eighth in the NFL with eight pass deflections. The Alabama product has also logged at least five tackles in five games thus far.
Marlon Humphrey is third on the team with 35 total tackles, with 25 solo. Humphrey is also tied for eighth in the league with eight pass deflections. The 2017 first-round pick has recorded at least one pass deflection in seven games this year. Baltimore will be going up against a Miami Dolphins team that only averages 17.2 points per game.
Why Jaylen Waddle and the Dolphins can cover
The Dolphins finally snapped their seven-game losing streak with a Week 9 win against the Houston Texans. Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was forced to miss this game due to a fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand. Veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett stepped up and led his team to victory. He went 26-of-43 for 244 yards with one passing touchdown. Jaylen Waddle led the team with eight catches for 83 yards.
Miami's defense forced Houston to commit four turnovers. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor struggled and went 24-of-43 for 240 yards with three interceptions. Taylor was under duress all afternoon and was sacked five times. Miami's defense flashed its ability to get pressure on the quarterback and cause turnovers, both of which will be essential on Thursday Night Football.
