The Ravens and Seahawks highlight one of the four massive collisions between teams in the AFC and NFC who hold some form of playoff aspirations.
Seattle is physical on defense, explosive at the wide receiver position, and they’re led by veteran quarterback Geno Smith, who’ll be improving as he ages.
For Baltimore, Lamar Jackson makes things go, and he has his most explosive group of skill players since entering the NFL.
With kickoff just over 30 hours away, we’re looking at ten stats.

The #Ravens play the #AZCardinals and if they win, it'll mean G Kevin Zeitler has beaten every NFL team during his 174-start career, per @NFLResearch.
Zeitler would be the 17th player since 1991 to do so, the third OL — along with Andrew Whitworth and Jake Scott.
