Broncos player to watch
OLB Nik Bonitto. The fourth-year pro is having a breakout season and has had a sack in six consecutive games, the longest active streak in the NFL and the longest streak by a Broncos pass rusher since Von Miller’s six-game sack streak in 2018.
Ravens player to watch
S Kyle Hamilton dropped an interception late in last weekend's game, giving Cleveland another chance to score the winning touchdown, but he's still a terrific all-around player for a struggling Baltimore defense. This is a chance for him to bounce back.
Key matchup
Denver's DL vs. Baltimore's QB. Lamar Jackson is off to perhaps the best start of his career. The two-time MVP has a passer rating of 115.4 and has rushed for 501 yards in eight games. He's been sharp against the blitz so it may be important for the Broncos to produce pressure without bringing extra pass rushers. Denver’s 30 sacks rank second in the league behind the New York Giants’ 35. Jackson missed practice time this week with back and knee issues. Josh Johnson is Baltimore's backup.
Key injuries
S P.J. Locke (thumb) and RT Mike McGlinchey (knee) are the only two Broncos with injuries of note. ... Baltimore DE Brent Urban (concussion) missed practice time this week. CBs Marlon Humphrey (knee) and Nate Wiggins (shoulder/illness) were limited.
Series notes
Baltimore has won three straight meetings. ... Jackson injured his knee in the most recent matchup, and although the Ravens won, their star QB didn't play again that season. ... Baltimore beat Denver 38-35 in double overtime in the playoffs at the end of the 2012 season. Jacoby Jones caught a 70-yard TD pass with 31 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to tie the game, and the Ravens went on to win the Super Bowl.
