When the Baltimore Ravens and the Az Cardinals meet on Sunday, both teams will be trying to turn things around. Baltimore is trying to rebound from a very poor offensive performance which resulted in an surprising loss to Jaguars last week and the Cardinals are trying to break a 5 game losing streak.

After a 4-1 start out to the year, the Ravens were held to only 146 yards of total offense last week. Ninety of those yards came on a single drive in the 4th quarter that resulted in their only touch down of the game. They weren’t able to convert a first down right up until the 3rd quarter and only had 16 yards at the half. Regardless of how you look at it, the offense will be looking to make a point vs the Cardinals. They hope to improve on their performance by creating sure running back Ray Rice gets more than the 8 bears he got in the loss.

After winning their opening game of the season, the Cardinals have lost the next 5. Many of the team’s offensive woes are pointed toward quarterback Kevin Kolb due to his passer rating of only 66.8. This is the lowest rating in the NFL. However, Kolb isn’t the only player struggling for the Cardinals. Their floor game has only reached the 100-yard mark in one of its first six games and the defense is ranked 28th in the league for points allowed.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt is looking at every position in an effort to prompt far better play out of his team. He said “We have to find somebody to make plays” and has indicated they may be looking at multiple changes to make that happen.

They key to which team is able to rebound from last weeks losses may rest upon who wins the fight in between the Cardinals offensive line and the Ravens defensive line.
