Ravens vs. Buccaneers

Ravens vs. Buccaneers updates, highlights from MNF game; Mike Evans, Marlon Humphrey hurt

 

 

 The Baltimore Ravens and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, two of the NFL's most potent offenses, face off in a highly anticipated "Monday Night Football" matchup.

The Ravens (4-2) enter Week 7 ranked fourth in the league for points scored, riding a wave of offensive success. Led by reigning MVP Lamar Jackson, Baltimore has won four consecutive games, putting up at least 28 points in each. 

 

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers (4-2) are coming off a dominant 51-27 victory over NFC South rival New Orleans in Week 6. Quarterback Baker Mayfield continued his red-hot performance in 2024, throwing four touchdowns. His play has propelled Tampa Bay to the second-ranked scoring offense in the NFL entering Week 7.

However, both teams have struggled in pass defense, ranking near the bottom of the league. The Ravens are 31st in passing yards allowed, and the Buccaneers are 28th, suggesting both Jackson and Mayfield will look to exploit those weaknesses. A high-scoring showdown seems likely.
