Following their much-needed bye in Week 13, the Baltimore Ravens (9-3) return to action on Sunday and begin a critical five-game stretch by hosting the surging Los Angeles Rams (6-6).
Sunday’s game will mark the 9th all-time meeting between the two teams, with Baltimore leading the series 5-3.
The Rams won the last regular season meeting 20-19 on January 2, 2022, at M&T Bank Stadium.
Baltimore leads Cleveland by two games in the AFC North, and a victory would keep the Ravens in control of the division. John Harbaugh’s team controls its destiny and can clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC by winning their last five games.
The Rams have won three straight and are back in the playoff picture.
With kickoff fast approaching, here’s an updated depth chart for the home team.
