3 keys for Ravens offense vs. Cowboys defense in Week 3

The Ravens are in Dallas for a must-win afternoon delight against a Cowboys team looking to regroup after a 44-19 loss to the Saints in Week 2 at AT&T Stadium. Baltimore has a versatile offense, but Todd Monken’s unit’s strengths mesh well with what the Cowboys struggle to defend consistently.

With pregame warmups fast approaching, we’re looking at three keys for the Ravens’ offense against the Cowboys’ defense.

Locate Micah Parsons:

The Cowboys star pass rusher joked about being the spy on quarterback Lamar Jackson, and the Ravens would love for Parsons to spend more time in coverage than rushing the passer.

Feed Derrick Henry:

Saints running back Alvin Kamara logged 20 carries for 115 rushing yards and four total touchdowns against Dallas’ banged-up defense.   Henry needs a breakout performance, and the Dallas defense is the perfect recipe.

Tight ends are your friends

Baltimore has two of the NFL’s top tight ends, and with the Cowboys utilizing Trevon Diggs and Jourdan Lewis to lock up opposing wide receivers, Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely could feast on the safeties and linebackers.
