QUARTERBACK

• Tyler Huntley is the projected starting quarterback for BAL

  7 Y/A

  In his first 2026 game, Tyler Huntley threw for 63 passing yards, completed 88.9% of his passes and averaged 7 yards per attempt. Last season over 5 games he threw for 426 yards, completed 77.6% and averaged 6.36 yards per attempt, 2-0 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 0-0 touchdown-to-interception line is 1 game in.

• Michael Penix Jr. is the projected starting quarterback for ATL

  10.64 Y/A

  Through 2 games in 2026, Michael Penix Jr. threw for 479 passing yards, completed 73.3% of his passes and averaged 10.64 yards per attempt. Last season over 9 games he threw for 1982 yards, completed 60.1% and averaged 7.18 yards per attempt, 9-3 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 2-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 2 games in.

TRENCHES

• ATL: 48.3 rushing yards allowed per game to BAL's 100

  51.8 YPG

  Atlanta is allowing just 48.3 rushing yards a game, less than half of Baltimore's 100, both over four games. The sheet does not show which offenses Atlanta faced, and a low number can come from opponents falling behind and passing instead of running. Expect it to rise. Against Baltimore, a team built around the run, this Falcons front faces a much tougher test than most, so do not assume the Ravens get shut down on the ground.

PACE & SCRIPT

• BAL: 29 points per game to ATL's 24

  5 PPG

  BAL is at 29 points per game over 4 games; ATL is at 24 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 10. Last season BAL was at 24.9 over 17 games and ATL at 20.8 over 17 games.

TURNOVERS

• BAL: 1.25 takeaways per game to ATL's 0.75

  0.5 TO

  Baltimore has forced 1.25 takeaways a game, Atlanta 0.75, both across four games. Takeaways bounce around week to week, and four games means the difference is two turnovers total. That kind of gap often closes. It is a modest point in Baltimore's favor at Atlanta, best weighed lightly against the yardage and efficiency numbers.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• BAL: 6.58 yards per play to ATL's 5.88

  0.7 Y/P

  Baltimore gains 6.58 yards a play, up from 5.92 last season. Atlanta is up too, to 5.88 from 5.38. Both offenses are running hotter than last season over 4 games, so some cooling is likely, but Baltimore has the edge in efficiency either way. Two improved offenses can push the scoring pace up.

RED ZONE

• BAL: 3.75 red-zone trips per game to ATL's 2.5

  1.25 TRIPS

  BAL is at 3.75 red-zone trips per game over 4 games; ATL is at 2.5 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 10. Last season BAL was at 3.47 over 17 games and ATL at 2.94 over 17 games.

MISMATCH

• BAL: 0.5 turnovers a game to ATL's 2

  0.5 VS 2

  Baltimore is giving the ball away 0.5 times a game, Atlanta 2 times, over 4 games. Last season Baltimore was at 1.35 and Atlanta at 1.06, so this gap is mostly four-game noise in both directions. Turnovers swing a lot week to week and should move back toward those marks. Atlanta's job is simple: protect the ball, because extra short fields for Baltimore are how this one gets away.

COVERAGE

• BAL: 215.3 passing yards allowed per game to ATL's 264.8

  49.5 YPG

  Baltimore allows 215.3 passing yards a game, Atlanta 264.8, both across four games. Passing yards against can inflate when a defense plays with a lead and opponents throw late, so the gap may say as much about scripts as coverage. The opposing quarterbacks aren't on the sheet. Atlanta's bigger number is the one to weigh if Baltimore's passing game gets room to work at Atlanta.

REPLACEMENT

• Andrew Vorhees (G) is out for BAL

  OUT

  Baltimore is without guard Andrew Vorhees for Sunday night at Atlanta, inactive with a foot injury as of Oct 11. Inactive is final: he will not dress. The fact sheet does not name his replacement, so the open question is who fills that interior line spot and how a reshuffled front holds up in pass protection and the run game.

• Za'Darius Smith (DE) is out for ATL

  OUT

  Smith carries two problems, a concussion and a neck injury, and the downgrade to out on Oct 11 removes any guesswork for Sunday against Baltimore. Out means he will not play. A concussion has its own return protocol, so his status beyond this week depends on how he clears it. The sheet does not name who takes his edge snaps, so look at Atlanta's pass rush depth before backing any sack or pressure angle against the Ravens.

• Christian Harris (LB) is out for ATL

  OUT

  ATL lists Christian Harris as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Aeneas Peebles (DT) is out for BAL

  OUT

  BAL lists Aeneas Peebles as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Trey Hendrickson (LB) is out for BAL

  OUT

  BAL lists Trey Hendrickson as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Robert Longerbeam (CB) is out for ATL

  OUT

  ATL lists Robert Longerbeam as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Malcolm DeWalt IV (CB) is out for ATL

  OUT

  ATL lists Malcolm DeWalt IV as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Ethan Onianwa (OT) is out for ATL

  OUT

  ATL lists Ethan Onianwa as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Cam Jurgens (C) is out for BAL

  OUT

  BAL lists Cam Jurgens as out on the injury report. Reported Oct 11.

• Elijah Sarratt (WR) is out for BAL

  OUT

  Baltimore lists Sarratt as out for the game in Atlanta. The report gives no injury detail or timeline, and with Lamar Jackson also out, the Ravens' passing game is thin at more than one spot this week.

• Jack Strand (QB) is out for ATL

  OUT

  Atlanta lists Strand as out for Sunday against Baltimore. No injury or timeline is given, and as a quarterback outside the starting picture his absence should not change much for this game.

• Lamar Jackson (QB) is out for BAL

  OUT

  Jackson is Baltimore's quarterback and the center of its offense, so an out tag is as big as absences get for this team. The report gives no injury detail or timeline, and the sheet does not name who starts in his place. Expect the Ravens' numbers in Atlanta to look different from what they show with him under center.

• Cooper Rush (QB) is out for ATL

  OUT

  Rush is inactive for Sunday against the Ravens as a coach's decision, which means no injury. He will serve as Atlanta's emergency quarterback, so he only sees the field if things go badly wrong at the position.

• Matt Hibner (TE) is questionable for BAL

  QUESTIONABLE

  Hibner (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Falcons. Reported Oct 12.

• Ja'Kobi Lane (WR) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Friday that Lane (wrist) is "doing really well" and "has put himself in a great position to be ready to roll when the time permits." Reported Oct 9.

• Durham Smythe (TE) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  The Ravens placed Smythe (Achilles) on their injured reserve list Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports. Reported Oct 7.

• Yasir Abdullah (LB) is on injured reserve for ATL

  IR

  The Falcons placed Abdullah (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports. Reported Oct 11.

• Ethan Pocic (C) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  Baltimore placed Pocic (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 4.

• Jovaughn Gwyn (G) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  The Ravens moved Gwyn (ankle) to injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 4.

SITUATIONAL

• BAL: 241.5 team passing yards per game to ATL's 179.5

  62 YPG

  Baltimore throws for about 62 more yards a game than Atlanta over 4 games. That is a big shift for Baltimore, which was at 175.6 last season, while Atlanta dropped from 207.2. Baltimore leaning on the pass this much is new, and game script from 4 games can inflate it. Watch whether the Ravens keep throwing in Atlanta or return to their old balance.

• BAL: 8.85 yards per pass attempt to ATL's 7.15

  1.7 Y/A

  BAL is at 8.85 yards per pass attempt over 4 games; ATL is at 7.15 over 4 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 10. Last season BAL was at 6.69 over 17 games and ATL at 6.21 over 17 games.

• BAL (3-1) at ATL (2-2)

  -16 PT GAP

  Both teams come in on two-game win streaks, but Baltimore is +20 and 2-0 on the road while Atlanta is just +4. The Falcons' 2-2 is about who they are on the margin, and their 0-1 home mark is one game. The Ravens have the stronger profile, though a 16-point differential gap is modest. Think of this as a closer matchup than the record gap implies.

AFTER GARY

• ATL -3.5 → -3.5

  NO MOVE

  Gary's number was -3.5; the same book now shows -3.5.
