Matchups to Watch: Ravens vs. Jets
Here are the 1-on-1 matchups to keep an eye on against the Jets.

RT Roger Rosengarten vs. OLB Jermaine Johnson
The Ravens' offensive line had a tough assignment against Myles Garrett and the Browns last week, when Rosengarten allowed seven pressures and one of five sacks on Lamar Jackson, according to Next Gen Stats. Led by Johnson and Will McDonald IV, who have combined for 10 sacks this season, the Jets' pass rush presents another challenge. Jackson has already been sacked as many times (23) in seven games this season as he was all of last year. Keeping the two-time MVP upright will be a focal point, especially with Jackson already dealing with a few lower-body injuries.

ILB Roquan Smith vs. RB Breece Hall
Despite missing two games, Smith is just four tackles behind Teddye Buchanan for the team lead. He'll have a formidable opponent this week against Hall, who is the Jets' top offensive weapon. Hall is 12th in the league in rushing (722 yards) and averages 4.8 yards per carry. Only two running backs have more explosive runs of 20+ yards. Without Garrett Wilson (injured reserve) in the lineup, Hall is atop the priority list of playmakers to corral.

S Kyle Hamilton vs. QB Tyrod Taylor
Hamilton continues to make his case as a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, with nine tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble against the Browns last week. Taylor takes over for Justin Fields as New York's starting signal-caller. The 15-year veteran has appeared in three games this year, completing 62.3% of his passes for 379 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. He'll look to provide a spark for a Jets passing attack that is last in the league.

WR Zay Flowers vs. CB Brandon Stephens
Once teammates, Flowers and Stephens will now square off on opposite sides of the field. Flowers is quietly having another Pro Bowl-caliber season and is well on his way to another 1,000-yard season. After spending his first four seasons in Baltimore, Stephens has been a major part of the Jets' defense, especially after New York traded Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis. Flowers hasn't reached the end zone since Week 1, the longest stretch without a touchdown in his career. Will he end that streak against a former teammate?

RB Derrick Henry vs. LB Jamien Sherwood
Henry has rushed for over 100 yards in three of the last five weeks and is on track to hit 1,000 yards for the fourth straight season. The 31-year-old tailback has shown no signs of slowing down, rushing for a 59-yard gain last week that marked his longest run of the season. Sherwood has five tackles for loss and leads the Jets in tackles by a wide margin. The Jets' run defense ranks in the bottom third of the league, opening the door for Henry to have another productive outing.
