How Ravens and Falcons Enter Sunday Night Football
The Baltimore Ravens travel to Atlanta holding a 3-1 record to start the 2026 NFL regular season. However, the team must navigate a major offensive absence after Lamar Jackson sustained a left ankle injury during last week’s victory over the Tennessee Titans. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is slated to step in as the starter under center. Huntley finished out the win against Tennessee by completing eight of nine passes for 63 yards in the second half.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons enter the prime-time showdown at 2-2 following a slower start to their campaign. Playing on their home turf at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Falcons lean on quarterback Michael Penix Jr.—who recently returned from injury—alongside standout running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Drake London.
