Heading into the 2020 season, expectations were high for both the Cowboys and Ravens. For Baltimore, they enjoyed a 14-2 season last year led by Lamar Jackson’s MVP year, although they exited the playoffs far too early. For Dallas, they had another young quarterback coming off a career year in Dak Prescott, and the addition of Mike McCarthy at head coach was expected to put the team over the hump.
But as these two teams meet on Tuesday in the midst of some wild schedule changes, neither team has lived up to the hype. The Ravens are 6-5, and have lost three in a row; their last loss came in a game where they were down most of their starters, including Jackson, due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
