Ravens vs. Dolphins: Week 9 Prime-Time Preview

Lamar Jackson's Return:

After missing three games with a hamstring injury, all eyes will be on Lamar Jackson. While he has a strong record returning from injury, his passer rating and touchdown-to-interception ratio in those games are less impressive. However, his past performances against the Dolphins have been stellar. Miami's defense, now coordinated by former Raven Anthony Weaver, has struggled this season but has shown improvement in the last two games.

Dolphins' Rushing Attack:

Tua Tagovailoa rebounded in Week 8 with four touchdown passes, but the Dolphins' revamped run game was the real story. Featuring more gap runs and six-OL formations, the Dolphins found success on the ground. The Ravens' defense has been vulnerable to such formations, so expect Miami to lean on De'Von Achane, Ollie Gordon II, and Jaylen Wright.

Ravens' Defensive Turnaround:

After a rough start to the season, the Ravens' defense has improved significantly. However, their pass rush remains a concern. Fortunately for the Ravens, Tua Tagovailoa has thrown the most interceptions when not pressured. Containing Jaylen Waddle will also be key, with Tyreek Hill and Darren Waller on IR.

Yes, Lamar Jackson is expected to start for the Ravens.

The Dolphins are using more gap runs and six-OL formations.

The Ravens have allowed fewer points and yards per game in recent weeks, but the pass rush is still a concern.
