Baltimore Ravens vs. Oakland Raiders
After a rough week one performance against the Broncos, the Ravens are out to capture their first win of the 2015 season. Traveling into hostile territory may not be the most ideal situation for Joe Flacco and company, but the Oakland Raiders are a favorable matchup.
While Oakland happens to be one of the better young teams in the NFL, it will be facing a tough Baltimore defense on Sunday. Derek Carr and Amari Cooper, whose opening game involved him getting his head slammed into his own helmet, will have their hands full in this one.
As for Joe Flacco, he’s going to be looking to rebound after passing for just 100 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions on 18-of-32 completions. He will need to find veteran wide out Steve Smith Sr. more than just twice, although he was targeted seven times, and trust Justin Forsett to take the pressure off his pass game.
Carr will be getting the nod on Sunday to start for the Raiders after suffering an injury that ended his week one performance early. Cooper had a promising debut, catching five of nine targets for a team-high 47 yards.
Both teams will be looking for their first win of the 2015 season on Sunday in Oakland.
