Ravens vs. Falcons Thursday Night Football: Live Blog, Stats, & Analysis

We are welcomed back to Thursday Night Football with a game that features two unheralded division leaders who both sit at 6-2, the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons. 

The Ravens beat the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, 26-10. 

The Falcons have the home-field edge and are coming off a tight NFC South win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

This game is crucial for both teams who are in close races in their respective divisions. Atlanta holds a half game lead over the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints and Baltimore are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

I think we're in for a good one here, folks. The Ravens have relied on their offense this season but still boast one of the more intimidating defenses in the NFL, while the Falcons pride themselves on their overall balance. 

Is this a Super Bowl preview? Could be.
