The Denver Broncos are headed to Baltimore to take on the semi-rival Ravens in a game that will help define where the Broncos stand.

The Denver Broncos bring a top-rated offense to Baltimore to face their number two defense.  On the other side, the Broncos are middle-of-the-pack defensively at 16 while the Ravens offense checks in at number eight.

Denver has been historically bad in Baltimore going just 1-5 against the Ravens.  Interestingly, the Broncos also had a 1-5 record against the Baltimore Colts, in Baltimore.

Denver comes in 2-0 with both wins coming at home (Oakland, Seattle) while the Ravens are 1-1.

Both teams have mild injury concerns, Baltimore will be without the services of suspended DB Jimmy Smith.

We want to break out three areas of focus and rate who we think will be better in that aspect.
