There are few better opponents for a struggling team to face this year than the last-place Cowboys (3-8), who have tumbled after losing quarterback Dak Prescott for the season.

The Ravens (6-5) certainly qualify as a group desperate for a comfortable win to boost their spirits. They’ve dropped three straight contests — all to possible playoff opponents — so they’re hopeful they can steamroll Dallas on Tuesday night ahead of their stretch run.

Baltimore has dealt with one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in the NFL this season, depleting an already incongruous squad. But Lamar Jackson will be back under center against the Cowboys after missing last week with the illness. And what better group for him to go up against than the Cowboys’ league-worst rush defense? Dallas has allowed 156.4 rushing yards per game this year, a key reason it’s surrendering more than 32 points per contest.

The NFL has had more start times than usual in the 2020 season, but 8:05 p.m. ET is a new one. Prime-time games usually kickoff at either 8:15 or 8:20, so this is a slight head start.

In Dallas, that’ll mean turning on TVs at 7:05 to watch Andy Dalton and the Cowboys play in Baltimore.
