Bengals at Ravens: 5 players and matchups to watch

[John Healey]

In the midst of a terrible season for the team as a whole, Jerry of all players went from absolute zero to somewhat hero last week. Filling in for Andre Smith, Jerry held down the left tackle spot and played at a high level against Chandler Jones. Smith will be out this week, and Jerry figures to keep his spot along the offensive line. We probably won’t see Jerry play that well again, but his matchup against Baltimore isn’t as fierce as it was last week.

Primary matchup: Jaylon Ferguson - The Ravens are really missing Terrell Suggs and Za’Darius Smith in their defense. Ferguson has recently been their main edge defender coming off the right side with Tyus Bowser filling in on obvious passing downs. Jerry shouldn’t have too much trouble against these two, but Baltimore does a great job of manufacturing unblocked pressures. Communication between Jerry and left guard Billy Price will be crucial.

Now let’s take a look at three under the radar players that the Browns will need to step up in order to beat the Seattle Seahawks.
