The second UK televised game of week 5 sees the Ravens (2-2) travel to the sunshine state to take on the Dolphins (3-1).
Joe Flacco will be looking to improve his game as he was picked by times by the Bills last week. Flacco has passed for 1091 yards for 5 TD's and 7 picks. The Ravens offence are nursing a few injuries this week. Flacco's passing options could be limited as WR's Veteran Brandon Stokley and Rookie Marlon Brown are questionable (thigh) along with Jacoby Jones (knee). Bernard Pierce leads with 151 yards rushing for 2 TD's averaging just 2.7 yards. Offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell will be looking for the Ravens rushing numbers to improve. WR Torrey Smith has been impressive this season with 435 yards (3rd best in the league) for 2 TD's averaging just over 108 yards a game.
Veteran LB Daryl Smith is in good form right now. Smith leads in tackles for the Ravens (37) with 2 picks and a TD to his name. Smith will be looking to add to his 1.5 sacks as he targets Miami's number 17. LB Terrell Suggs will also be looking to stamp his authority on the game. The ever reliant Suggs has 4 sacks this season. LB's Arthur Brown and Albert McClellan are both questionable (shoulder).
Miami have had a good start to the season. They two are coming into week 5 at the back of a loss on the road in New Orleans. Joe Philbin makes no secret that his Dolphins have problems protecting Ryan Tannehill who has been sacked 18 times in four games. Tannehill will be looking to convert more of his passes into touchdowns, he has thrown only 5 for 1076 yards. If Tannehill is to do that he will looking to go to WR Brian Hartline. Hartline out of Ohio state has 272 yards in reception averaging 68 yards a game and 2 TD's. TE Charles Clay has also been productive for the Dolphins, a 6 yard reception will take him over 250 receiving yards for the season.
The Miami defence have 26 passes defended this season and the defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle will have studied Joe Flacco's 5 interceptions last week. DE Cameron Wake is questionable (knee). MLB Dannell Ellerbe is probable (knee). Both Wake and Ellerbe are key to the defensive line, Wake has 2.5 sacks and Ellerbe leads with tackles 38 (combined).
John Harbaugh's Ravens are coming into week 5 off the back of a loss to the Bills and he will be reminding his defence that Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill has been sacked more times than any other QB in the league as Baltimore look for their 3rd "W" of the season. Joe Philbin will also be looking for a response from Miami as he looks to use home advantage in search of win number 4 for the season. This is a game between the World Champions and AFC East contenders.
Key men
Baltimore - Torrey Smith, if Joe Flacco can find him out wide then Smith has the tools to hurt Miami.
Miami - Miami pocket, they will need to protect Ryan Tannehill if they are to stop Terrell Suggs from adding to his 4 sacks.
