The Baltimore Ravens are one of the tougher teams in the NFL, but the Buffalo Bills will offer an interesting match for them. They've been playing at a high level and should make life a challenging one for Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown, and the rest of the Ravens.
However, this presents a perfect opportunity for the rookie wide receiver to show off and have another fantastic game
It may be tough for Brown to stand out, as this season has always been the Lamar Jackson Show for Baltimore. He has shown at different points of the season that he can be a legitimate No. 1 wide receiver. Moreover, the Ravens need him to succeed in order to establish themselves as a team of talented playmakers who don't rely on Jackson's incredible abilities.
He's probably primed for success with the way the team's been set up recently. Obviously, Jackson will take the full attention of the defense. His ability to throw and scramble will always get defenders panicking over his actions. He's easily the favorite to win the MVP this year, and having such a player on your side will do nothing but improve your production on offense.
Another reason is the Baltimore defense. They're one of the best defenses in the league, currently ranked ninth in terms of overall yards ceded. Having such a talented defense on Brown's side should lessen the burden he carries. He can just focus on becoming the best player he can be against the Bills.
Another reason why he needs to succeed against the Bills is due to the fact that Buffalo is considered to have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL. They are third in passing yards ceded and will be a giant thorn in his side throughout the game.
There will be problems coming into the game, as Brown had a limited practice due to his ankle injury. It might be possible that he won't be in his best shape by the start of the game.
However, he's shown through various games in his rookie campaign that he can perform. His 147 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins showed everyone what he can do when he's at his best.
It's now up to him to recreate that magic as he plays one of the tougher defenses he'll face this season. Baltimore needs their rookie wide receiver to step up this week.
