Ravens vs. Eagles: Baltimore Will Feast on Michael Vick's Mistakes

If there is one NFL defense in particular that you don't want to turn the ball over against, it's the Baltimore Ravens'.

On Sunday in Philadelphia, Michael Vick and the Eagles, who turned the ball over five times in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, will host that feared Ravens defense.

Needless to say, Eagles fans should be nervous about this matchup.

Based on the fact that Baltimore loves forcing turnovers and Philadelphia has a knack for falling victim to them, I fully expect the Ravens to put the Eagles away on the road in Week 2.

Baltimore will feast on Vick's mistakes, just as the Browns did last weekend.

Only the Indianapolis Colts have as many giveaways as the Eagles do after the season's first week.

The only reason Philadelphia is even 1-0 coming into Sunday's showdown with Baltimore is because Cleveland quarterback Brandon Weeden threw as many picks as Vick in Week 1—four.

But the Ravens offense won't come close to being as inept as the Browns last weekend. Joe Flacco, Ray Rice and company will make Philadelphia pay for each and every mistake.

The Ravens surpassed 300 passing yards and 120 rushing yards last weekend.

In addition, Baltimore scored 14 points off of the two turnovers it forced against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1. Ed Reed returned an Andy Dalton interception for a touchdown, and the Ravens drove in for a score after a Dalton fumble shortly after.

Still think the Eagles have a chance on Sunday?

Well, consider this: Vick fumbled twice in Week 1 in addition to throwing four interceptions. Luckily for Philadelphia, the Eagles recovered both of them. 

Vick is off to an extremely shaky start, having exposed the ball to the defense six times through just four quarters of football in 2012.

What's even more alarming for Eagles fans is the fact that Vick's turnover struggles are becoming a trend. He threw 14 picks a season ago and put the ball on the ground too many times to count. And now, he has four interceptions after just one game this fall.

Unless Vick can completely flip the script in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, the Eagles will be forced into mistakes and head into Week 3 lucky to be 1-1.
