Baltimore Ravens: Five Keys to Victory vs. St. Louis Rams
By Joe Serpico
Get After Case Keenum
The Rams have opted to bench Nick Foles in favor of Case Keenum following the team’s offensive struggles this season. Foles has thrown just two touchdown passes in the last five games and has been a turnover machine as well. The Rams gave Foles a contract extension after his arrival from Philadelphia in the trade of Sam Bradford so it remains to be seen if this is a permanent switch.

The switch to Keenum is a hope to spark a change in how the offense has been playing. Keenum was a terrific college quarterback at Houston, but the numbers haven’t translated to the NFL. He has thrown 11 touchdown passes, but also eight interceptions in 10 career starts.
Baltimore’s defense must create confusion to force some turnovers. The Ravens finally ended their streak of games without a turnover, but also left a few more opportunities on the field. They must capitalize on any mistakes that the inexperienced Keenum makes this week.
