DT Nnamdi Madubuike vs. LG Cody Whitehair

Madubuike had half a sack last week and was disruptive all game. He'll move along the interior defensive line and will have some reps against Whitehair, the Raiders' starting left guard. Minshew was sacked four times last week and the Ravens got him five times last season when he was with the Indianapolis Colts. Baltimore's defensive front could make it a long day for the Raiders' new quarterback.

CB Brandon Stephens vs. WR Davante Adams

Adams is one of the top receivers in the game, but Stephens proved last season he can hang with stars of the league. With not a ton of weapons on offense, look for Gardner Minshew II to go Adams' way a lot on Sunday.

RT Patrick Mekari vs. DE Maxx Crosby

As Head Coach John Harbaugh put it, Crosby can be a "game-wreaker." Crosby, who had a career-high 14.5 sacks last season and a pair of sacks when these two teams met in 2021, will mostly line up across from Mekari at right tackle. It will be a tough task for Mekari, and Roger Rosengarten when he rotates in, to stop Crosby, but if they can slow him down, that will be a win for Baltimore.

ILB Roquan Smith vs. TE Brock Bowers

Bowers was one of the top pass catches taken in this year's draft, and Smith is sure to match up with him a few times Sunday. Ravens Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken coached Bowers at Georgia, so maybe he has some tips for the defense.

RB Derrick Henry vs. DT Christian Wilkins

Henry had 13 carries last week, with only eight coming after the opening drive. The Raiders gave up 176 rushing yards to the Chargers last week, so look for the Ravens to assert themselves in the run game early. Wilkins is the big man in the middle, so the matchup with him and Henry will be important to watch.
