No. 1 – Ravens (Week 10)

If the Ravens can follow up on their recent success from 2019 in 2020, then they’re going to be the toughest game for the Patriots — which makes this the top game for fans to be pumped about.

The reigning NFL MVP, quarterback Lamar Jackson, is preparing for a repeat season in which he took the entire league by surprise and was essentially unstoppable.

It’s obviously unknown how much the Ravens are expecting to run with Jackson for the second straight year after he just ran for 1,206 yards and seven rushing touchdowns, but the team is preparing for a heavy rushing attack that seems to be reinventing the read-option and RPO plays.

In doing so, versatile rookie running back JK Dobbins joins the bruising Mark Ingram as the running back tandem this year — which proves that the Ravens are in fact interested in keeping a heavy running game.

To make themselves more successful this year, the New England Patriots are taking an approach designed to stop the mobile quarterbacks, read-option, and RPO-type of plays that is starting to become more common and typical in today’s NFL.

The way the Ravens presented themselves last year makes them one of the most exciting teams to watch for the entire 2020 season. Jackson is too versatile for teams to keep up with.

The New England Patriots have what I believe is their toughest game of the season in Week 10 against the Ravens.
