3. The Ravens have scored the most points of any team in the NFL so far.

Lamar Jackson is off to an outstanding start through three games this season, leading the NFL in offensive touchdowns (10), passing touchdowns (9), passer rating (141.8) and passing yards-per-attempt (9.6) all without committing a single turnover.

Specifically, his 141.8 passer rating is the second-highest mark through three games for any quarterback in the last 50 seasons. Only Tom Brady (in 2007) posted a better figure. That performance has served as the catalyst for a Ravens’ offense that leads the NFL in points-per-game (37.0) and plays of 20+ yards (16).

So, it all begs the question: Why are the Ravens 1-2?

Well, Baltimore’s record through three games is the result of a handful of reasons, but one major factor has been the presence of a late, critical turnover in each of its losses. The Ravens have only committed two giveaways all year (both fumbles), but each play took place at a crucial moment in the game in which Baltimore was either protecting a lead (in Buffalo) or seeking to take the lead (vs. Detroit).

Remarkably, tailback Derrick Henry – who lost just eight fumbles in eight career seasons prior to this year – was responsible for both plays. It’s part of what has been an up-and-down season for Henry, who rushed for 169 yards on just 18 carries in Week 1, but just 73 yards on 23 carries in the two games since.

Regardless, Henry is a future Pro Football Hall of Famer, and those recent struggles aside, the Chiefs will need to slow him down on Sunday in order to contain the Ravens’ offense. The Chiefs have held Henry under 100 rushing yards in three of their five meetings with him under Defensive Coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, and they’ll need a similar performance this weekend.

4. Detroit sacked Jackson seven times last week.

Jackson is one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in league history, making the Lions’ performance against him last week – which matched a career-high for Jackson with seven sacks – all the more remarkable.

Additionally, five of those sacks (and 11 pressures) took place on snaps in which Jackson wasn’t blitzed. The Lions recorded a pressure rate of 50% on those snaps, and when Jackson tried to scramble, Detroit showed tremendous discipline by closing off all of his escape lanes.

It was a phenomenal defensive effort by Detroit, and for what it’s worth, the Chiefs – after blitzing at the highest rate in the league through two weeks – generated a pressure rate of 54.1% last week despite only blitzing six times (on 37 dropbacks). In other words, Kansas City created pressure on 18 of 31 dropbacks in which only four rushers went after the quarterback last week.

That’s a big deal, and a similar effort on Sunday would go a long way toward a Chiefs win.
