The Rams lost in overtime to the 49ers on Thursday, falling to 3-2 overall. The offense looked solid again, with WRs Davante Adams and Puka Nacua combining for 173 receiving yards on 15 receptions. RB Kyren Williams also caught 8 passes for 66 yards and 2 touchdowns, totaling 131 scrimmage yards on the day. On the other hand, their defense continued to struggle. They've allowed 26.3 ppg over the last three games.

Baltimore was dominated by the Texans on Sunday, losing 44-10 and falling to 1-4 on the season. Being without starting QB Lamar Jackson was too large of a hurdle for the Ravens to overcome, especially with how horrendous their defense has played. Through 5 weeks, Baltimore has allowed 177 points (35.4 points per game). They need to find a way to return to form this week or their playoff hopes may begin to vanish.

Lamar Jackson remains out of practice with a hamstring injury, making him unlikely to return this week. The Ravens of the past would have still put up a good fight at home despite his absence, but their defense is now the opposite of the staple strength it once was. Against a capable offense like the Rams, with Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams, Baltimore is sure to wind up on the wrong end of another blowout.
