Unbeaten after two games for the sixth consecutive year http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-marshal-yanda-jersey , Denver showed its tenacity in a pair of fourth-quarter comebacks at home.Now it's time to see if the Broncos can win on the road.Quarterback Case Keenum, record-setting rookie running back Phillip Lindsay, standout receiver Emmanuel Sanders and the NFL's second-ranked offense will be tested Sunday by the Baltimore Ravens, who are 60-21 on their own turf since coach John Harbaugh arrived in 2008."They have great crowd noise. It's like playing at a college stadium," Denver coach Vance Joseph said. "It's going to be a tough out for our guys as far as traveling and playing our best game."Keenum orchestrated a late drive for the game-winning field goal last week against Oakland after throwing for 329 yards and three touchdowns in his Denver debut versus Seattle. Lindsay is the first undrafted rookie in NFL history to top 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two games, and Sanders has 14 catches for 231 yards and a score."They play really well together," Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "They have a quarterback at the helm that they believe in. In this game, confidence is 95 percent of it."All that aside, the Ravens (1-1) know the outcome could depend on how well they handle Denver linebacker Von Miller, who's already got four sacks as the focal point of an aggressive defense."He's the straw that stirs the drink, no doubt, one of the very best in the league at what he does," Harbaugh said. "We will have to have him accounted for at all times, on every play. If we don't do that, he'll wreck the game."The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Miller is vastly quicker than he looks."He's a physical freak. That's his major trait," Joseph said. "He's built like an outside linebacker, but he's got defensive back movement."Some things to know about the Denver-Baltimore matchup:FLACCO FACTORRavens quarterback Joe Flacco struggled in the first half of a 34-23 loss to Cincinnati last week, but he finished with 376 yards passing and has a 15-5 touchdown-to-interception differential in his past nine games.His success on Sunday could very well depend on how Baltimore handles Miller, who has three sacks in two career regular-season games against the Ravens — both of them victories. In a 2013 playoff game, Miller had a half-sack and seven tackles in a 38-35 double-overtime defeat."He's very disruptive, but that's going to be taken care of by the guys up front, our backs, everybody," Flacco said. "It's all hands on deck, and we'll have a plan for it."ROOKIE SENSATIONLindsay had his first 100-yard game rushing last week to go with a 71-yard effort on the ground against Seattle.The 5-8 rookie out of Colorado and 2018 third-round draft pick Royce Freeman (99 yards rushing) have developed into an effective 1-2 punch.Baltimore looked at Lindsay before the draft, and now they've got to stop him."The offensive line has done a good job," Harbaugh said Cheap Maurice Canady Jersey , "but this kid is running and he's making plays with his speed and his fearlessness."BROWN DELIVERSFree agent receiver John Brown has scored a touchdown in each of his first two games with Baltimore."It feels great," Brown said. "Most people had doubts about what I could do because of injuries, but I just want to keep rolling."Brown rang up 1,003 yards and seven TDs with Arizona in 2015 before being slowed by injuries the following two years."He's a humble guy, but he's very confident," Flacco said. "He's a lot of fun to be around."COURAGEOUS KEENUMKeenum starred with Minnesota last year, and his sizzling start with Denver lifted his record as a starter to 13-3.Keenum missed practice Wednesday with a sore knee, the result of a few hits he took while scrambling out of the pocket against Oakland."Yeah, I guess I need to slide a few more times instead trying to go run and bounce around off of defenders," he said with a grin. "But I want to get a first down, I want to score. I'm competitive in that way."Keenum has played against Baltimore three times with three different teams.LEWIS HONOREDFormer Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, a 2018 Hall of Fame inductee, will be honored by the team over the weekend.There will be a parade in Baltimore on Saturday. On Sunday, Lewis will make an on-field appearance just before the kickoff and will be presented his Hall of Fame ring at halftime.Quick Hits: Week 1 The quest for the Lombardi begins tonight. Below are some of the biggest storylines for each team ahead of Week 1.Falcons at Eagles: The Eagles remain a front runner in the NFC, but Nick Foles looked more back up quarterback than Super Bowl hero at times during the preseason. Can Philadelphia keep the party going and take down Atlanta, even without the talents of Carson Wentz? Or will Matt Ryan and the Falcons return to their 2016 form when they were the second ranked offense in the league? Bills at Ravens: In a twist of fate, Baltimore gift wrapped the Bills a playoff berth last year, ending a postseason drought that dated back to the 1999 season. However, while the Ravens have looked to revive the career of their wavering franchise quarterback, Buffalo shipped their starter to Cleveland and is relying on Nathan Peterman, who has a 38.4 career passer rating. Can the Ravens breathe new life into their offense and support their respected defense headlined by an aging Terrell Suggs? Or will the promise of the offseason additions fall flat at home? Jaguars at Giants: After a tumultuous 2017 campaign, Eli Manning is back at the helm and the drama surrounding Odell Beckham Jr.’s contract has been resolved. Jacksonville corner Jalen Ramsey has dominated offseason conversations, calling out quarterbacks and receivers around the league, becoming a walking source of bulletin board material. Will Beckham Jr. live up to the bag he secured or will Ramsey back up his extensive self endorsement and shut down the star receiver? Buccaneers at Saints: As a starting quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick has a 48-70-1 career record. By comparison, New Orleans’ Drew Brees has a 142-106-0 record. After losing in heart breaking fashion to Minnesota in the divisional round, can the Saints ride the wave of the Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram duo in 2018? Can Tampa Bay weather the storm with Fitzpatrick or are they doomed with or without a troubled Jameis Winston? Texans at Patriots: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are no stranger to bouncing back from a Super Bowl loss. They begin their quest for a sixth championship and a third straight Super Bowl appearance against Houston. Can the Texans rely on a healthy J.J. Watt and Deshaun Watson to pull off Week 1 shocker like the Chiefs did in New England last season? Or will the Patriots, despite the departure of Malcolm Butler and suspension of Julian Edelman http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-john-brown-jersey , assert their dominance? 49ers at Vikings: Even after overachieving in 2017, the Vikings decided to pivot by bringing in Kirk Cousins to team up with star receivers Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. Will Kirk Cousins prove Washington wrong and deliver in Minnesota? Or will Jimmy Garoppolo continue his coming out party and remain undefeated as an NFL starter and bring renewed optimism to a 49ers team that struggled prior to trading for the former Patriots back up? Titans at Dolphins: With the departure of Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills and DeVante Parker have both a great opportunity and a great burden to support Ryan Tannehill’s return. Will they be able to step up? The Titans made several moves this offseason, bringing in former Ravens defensive coordinator Dean Pees, signing running back Dion Lewis and inserting Malcolm Butler into the secondary. Will these moves be able to put Tennessee over the top? Bengals at Colts: With Andrew Luck back in the lineup, can the Colts right the ship? Or will Luck’s once promising career finally flame out if he cannot stay on the field in 2018? It seems as if every year Marvin Lewis is on the hot seat, yet he is never ousted in Cincinnati. Is this the year Andy Dalton brings him the postseason success that has evaded the Bengals or will the Lewis era finally end after another disappointing season?Steelers at Browns: The buzz has been palpable surrounding Cleveland, despite coming off a win-less season in 2017. Will Josh Gordon, Jarvis Landry, Carlos Hyde, Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward shine against a top tier opponent or will Pittsburgh’s experience and stifling defense stall the process? How will the Steeler’s offense compensate for Le’Veon Bell’s likely absence? Chiefs at Chargers: Both teams seem to flirt with proficiency but fail to fully realize their potential each season. Is this the year that Kansas City is able to translate the talents of Tyreek Hill and Kareem Hunt, alongside new quarterback Patrick Mahomes, into a playoff run? Can the Chargers utilize Philip Rivers’ shrinking window and finally emerge from their middle of the pack status? Seahawks at Broncos: Both franchises have secured a Super Bowl victory in the last five seasons, but it feels like both organizations are further away from returning to the mountain top. With the Legion of Boom dismantled, can Russell Wilson’s brilliance carry Seattle? Still in search of a true heir at quarterback, can Von Miller and the Denver defense drive their success?Cowboys at Panthers: The Cowboys premier unit -the offensive line- is looking a little worse for wear. With that in mind, will Dak Prescott be able to rebound from his sophomore slump? Similarly, can Cam Newton get the protection he needs to succeed?With the suspension saga behind him, can Ezekiel Elliott emerge as the best running back in the NFL?Redskins at Cardinals: It is unlikely that either franchise is going to make a lot of noise this season in the highly competitive NFC. Can David Johnson, Patrick Peterson and Chandler Jones float an otherwise lacking roster in Arizona? Will Alex Smith be able to bring his regular season consistency to Washington or will not resigning Cousins haunt the Redskins? Bears at Packers: It is no secret that Green Bay’s ability to compete hinges on the health of Aaron Rodgers. With the support of emerging talent Davante Adams and veteran Jimmy Graham, can the Packers climb back to the top of the NFC North with a Week 1 divisional victory? Or will the Bears pull off a huge upset in Mitchell Trubisky’s sophomore season? Jets at Lions: After trading Teddy Bridgewater to New Orleans, the Jets are clearly all in on rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. Can he get off to a hot start with help from number one wide receiver Robby Anderson? Or will Matthew Stafford begin his elusive campaign for a playoff win with a home opener victory? Rams at Raiders: If teams received a trophy for offseason transactions, the Los Angeles Rams would have emerged with the recognition. Despite all the hype last season, the Rams still failed to secure a playoff victory in 2017. Can Jared Goff continue his development with the support of new additions Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Ndamukong Suh and Brandin Cooks? With the preseason overshadowed by Khalil Mack’s hold out (which ultimately ended in a trade to Chicago), can Jon Gruden start his second tenure in Oakland off on the right note?
