Lamar Jackson is 23-1 against the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles present a formidable test

— Lamar Jackson has almost never lost against the NFC. “I think some people think that they might be the best team in the league, and that’s the way they’re playing.” Philadelphia has faced some weaker opponents during this streak, but the Eagles also took care of Joe Burrow and Cincinnati in a 37-17 rout. They’ve got great linebackers, who are very smart, who play very well together,” Ravens running back Derrick Henry said. Pretty smooth.” This weekend’s game is creating a lot of buzz thanks to the matchup between running backs Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry, both of whom have surpassed 1,300 yards rushing already. You have to focus on what’s in front of you.” NOTES: Baltimore LB Roquan Smith was back at practice for the team’s walkthrough Wednesday after missing Monday night’s win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
