Week 1 of the 2021 season is finally upon us. The Ravens are set to travel to Las Vegas to face the Raiders on Monday Night Football for their season debut. Several key matchups to keep an eye on during Monday night’s showdown:
Darren Waller vs. safeties and linebackers
The former Ravens wide receiver-turned-tight end has joined the upper echelon of players at his position with his elite play in recent years. Waller’s rare combination of speed and size makes him the true definition of a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses.
Baltimore’s defensive game plan will likely begin with containing Waller.
