The Baltimore Ravens (6-4) will be going on the road to take on the potent passing attack of the New Orleans Saints (4-6) on Monday night. The Ravens currently sit in third place in the AFC North, while the Saints are atop the NFC South despite their losing record.
In their last game, the Ravens were able to snap their two-game losing streak by beating the Tennessee Titans 21-7 at home. Their defense held the Titans to just 210 total yards in that win, while their offense finished the game with no turnovers.
The Ravens' defense has improved just about every week and they have now only given up 18.1 points per game. Running back Justin Forsett is averaging 5.4 yards per carry and has 721 yards with five touchdowns. Quarterback Joe Flacco has 2,521 passing yards on the year with 17 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
The Saints lost their second straight game last Sunday when they were defeated 27-10 by the Cincinnati Bengals at home. Their running game just couldn't get going in that one as they finished with just 75 yards on the ground.
Through 10 games, the Saints are one of the worst teams against the pass, giving up 255.2 yards per game through the air. Veteran quarterback Drew Brees has completed 69.5 percent of his passes for 3,071 yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Running back Mark Ingram has 618 yards on the season with six touchdowns.
