Andrew Luck has emerged as possibly the best quarterback in the NFL in 2014, racking up 370 yards or more in three of Indianapolis' first four games. Last week against Tennessee, Luck eviscerated an overmatched Titans defense for 393 yards and four touchdowns. For the season he has thrown 13 touchdown passes, run for one, and tossed four interceptions.
"He's in the zone right now," coach Chuck Pagano said. "Anytime you go out there and play fast and you're not thinking, usually the result is the numbers, you know the yards and touchdowns he's producing right now."
The Ravens defense has been stout against the run and far less effective against opposing passers, which means this matchup could turn into another Luck aerial show. To combat that, Baltimore will lean on their running attack, which has survived Ray Rice's release with three backs sharing the load.
Justin Forsett has been the lead back lately; last week he rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown while rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro contributed 58 yards and a score of his own. They may work in Bernard Pierce as well in an attempt to control time of possession and limit the damage Luck and his right arm might inflict.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh is very proud of how his team has reeled off three straight wins in the face of heavy adversity.
"Sometimes they say football reveals character. It's galvanized us in some ways. We've been through a fire. It either makes you or breaks you. I feel good about that."
