The Story in 60 Seconds

The Baltimore Ravens secondary faces a difficult challenge against the Dallas Cowboys after struggling significantly in Week 2. Baltimore allowed Tyler Shough to throw for 252 yards and a touchdown, while Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott enters the contest following a 279-yard, four-touchdown performance against the Washington Commanders.

While Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey, and Kyle Hamilton have shown strong individual performances early in the season, safeties Malaki Starks and Jaylinn Hawkins experienced major coverage difficulties against the New Orleans Saints. The defensive backfield must correct these issues when defending Dallas receivers CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on Sunday.
