Ravens face Raiders in Week 2 after tough losses

The Baltimore Ravens and Las Vegas Raiders both entered Week 2 of the NFL season looking to recover from disappointing losses in their opening games. The Ravens faced the two-time defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, and lost 27-20. Despite the defeat, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson made headlines by rushing for 122 yards, setting a new record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in Week 1, surpassing Michael Vick's previous record of 103 yards from 2010. On the other hand, the Raiders were unable to secure a win against the Los Angeles Chargers, and their defensive front will be tested against the Ravens' running game, particularly with standout running back Derrick Henry. The Raiders' defense struggled in their last outing, allowing 176 rushing yards, which raises concerns about their ability to contain Henry in the upcoming matchup. In their last meeting, the Raiders triumphed over the Ravens in a thrilling overtime game, showcasing the talents of defensive end Maxx Crosby, who had an impressive performance with two sacks and multiple tackles. As both teams prepare for their Week 2 clash, the focus will be on key matchups and player performances that could determine the outcome. With the Ravens aiming to extend their streak of rushing for over 100 yards in 34 consecutive games, and the Raiders looking to improve their defensive efforts, this matchup promises to be a critical moment for both franchises as they seek to turn their seasons around.
