Ravens Rams rivalry

This will be the eighth contest between the two teams, as the Baltimore Ravens are one of the newer NFL teams. So far, the Ravens have gotten the better of the LA Rams, now with a commanding five wins to two Rams wins lead. But there are plenty of sub-plots to keep this one very interesting.

NFL owners approved expanding the regular season to 17 games.

For the Ravens, their 17th game is reportedly the Los Angeles Rams in Baltimore.

This game will feature former Rams CB Marcus Peters on the Baltimore Ravens roster and will feature his replacement, DB Jalen Ramsey on the Ravens roster. But keep an eye on DB Darious Williams, who was once cut by the Baltimore Ravens before signing up with the Rams. Say what you want about being traded, being cut is a bit more insulting.

And that also means that Rams ILB Kenny Young will be able to compete against his former team as well. Of course, he’ll need to be stout against the run, the Ravens deployed the best rushing attack in the NFL in 2020. Meanwhile, the Rams boasted the third-best rushing defense in the league.
