RAVENS SCOUTING REPORT

The Ravens have won three straight after cruising to victory over the Broncos in Denver last Sunday. Now Baltimore hosts the 1-3 Indianapolis Colts at 8:15 p.m. Monday night as it begins an extended homestand. Here’s who has the edge in each phase of the game:

Quarterback Lamar Jackson has led the Ravens to victory with his arm the last two weeks. He completed 22 of 37 passes for 316 yards against a very good

Denver defense, continuing his recent success with downfield throws, often set up by play-action. The Ravens rank 13th in passing and sixth in yards per attempt after ranking 32nd and 21st in the same categories last season. Wide receiver Marquise Brown bounced back from a rough game in Detroit with four catches on five targets for 91 yards against the Broncos, including a diving 49-yard touchdown grab. Tight end Mark Andrews has strung together three strong games after a subpar Week 1. Jackson also thrived throwing to less familiar targets in Denver, where second-year wide receivers James Proche and Devin Duvernay combined for 105 yards on eight catches. With Miles Boykin and firstround pick Rashod Bateman potentially in the mix against the Colts, Jackson could be throwing to the best set of targets he’s had in four seasons with the Ravens.

He’ll go against a Colts defense that has allowed opponents to average 7.3 yards per attempt, sixth worst in the league. The Colts lack an elite pass rusher, though DeForest Buckner (5 quarterback hits, 1 sack) has been effective from the inside. They finished with three sacks and four quarterback hits in their Week 4 victory over the Miami Dolphins, which could forecast trouble for the Ravens’ undermanned offensive line. Do-everything linebacker Darius Leonard has an interception and three passes defended, more than any player in the Indianapolis secondary. He did not practice Thursday and was limited Friday because of an ankle injury. Jackson completed 19 of 23 passes for 170 yards in a 24-10 win over the Colts last season. EDGE: Ravens
