San Fransisco’s calling card over the past few seasons has been the play of their defense, most notable the front seven. While many of the big names are gone –Patrick WillisandJustin Smith– the Niners still have some stout run defenders in Navarro Bowman andAhmad Brooks.
The Ravens are in a world of hurt right now asJustin Forsetthas missed practice with an ankle injury he suffered against the Browns.Javorius Allenis the backup running back on the roster now that the Ravens placedLorenzo Taliaferroon season-ending injured reserve. As it stands right now, Allen andRaheem Mostert, who the Ravens picked up for the injured Taliaferro from the Miami Dolphins, are the only two healthy backs on the roster.
The Ravens offense is predicated around their running game. If Forsett is unable to suit up, this is a big opportunity for Allen to make a statement going forward. There were many who thought that Baltimore drafted Allen with the future in mind, and the Ravens are going to need him to perform to get the win on Sunday.
