Ranking games in order of intrigue
Why this game is intriguing: The NFL's most mercurial offense faces off against one of its most curious defenses. The Dallas Cowboys, coming off a bye, have a real opportunity to quiet the doubters by pulling off another impressive road win. Or, they can slink back to Dallas at 2-3, with everyone continuing to wonder when -- if ever -- they'll put it together. Did the time off help their offensive line learn to block? As for the Baltimore Ravens, they've quietly regained their status as one of the true teams to beat in the AFC, even with their last three wins combing by a combined 11 points. If they are for real, if they are ready to be a Super Bowl contender again, they should beat the 'Boys at home.
What to watch: Those old, nasty Ravens defenses never allowed anyone to rush for more than 100 yards. (Or, so it seemed.) Well, this season, it's happened three times in five games. As for the Cowboys, they are a run-first team at their core. But they're currently ranked 29th in run offense, averaging a meager 3.4 yards per rush. If the Cowboys can run it on the Ravens, we've got a ballgame. It's also going to be fun to watch the Ravens' fast-break, no-huddle look against a Cowboys secondary that can really cover. Can Dallas shut down Joe Flacco's high-energy attack?
