Tomorrow, the Redskins take on the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore, for the chance to go above .500 for the first time this season.
The Ravens, at 3-1, suffered their first loss last week to the hands of the Oakland Raiders. Baltimore is looking to build on their hot start and forget their abysmal 2015 season.
Although 2015 was a disaster and their first two games were a bit ugly, the Ravens are no joke. That being said, if the Redskins' offense is able to build off of last week's performance, Baltimore's defense can be exposed.
If the Redskin's offense is able to capitalize, it'll be through the efforts of tight end Jordan Reed. The weakness in Baltimore's defense if the inability of the linebackers to cover the middle of the field. Not only did Reed have two touchdowns last week, but he has proven to be one of Kirk Cousin's favorite targets.
Offensively, the Ravens are very confusing. They may or may or may not have an elite quarterback. Their top two receivers are among the top in the league - or at least were four seasons ago, and their running game has been inconsistent ever since the, uh, departure of Ray Rice. Even with their banged-up secondary, the Redskins realistically have no reason to fear Baltimore's offense.
Much like the season has consisted of, this is a very winnable game for the Redskins if they can play up to the standards they've shown flashes of. As they've proven, there no such thing as a scheduled win and Baltimore is a tough opponent.
