Ravens outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil, approaching 100 career sacks, has two goals: break the single-season NFL sack record and win a Super Bowl. - For Baltimore to move the ball through the air against a top-ranked Dallas pass defense, Ravens wide receivers must shake free of physical Cowboys cornerbacks Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne, who excel at bumping receivers out of their routes at the line of scrimmage.
- The time for a change at left tackle is unlikely to be now for the Ravens despite starter Michael Oher struggling against the Kansas City Chiefs and occasionally the previous week against the Cleveland Browns.

- I apologize to Baltimore Ravens fans in advance for my fascination with the wide-nine alignment that the Philadelphia Eagles often use on defense, but if you are as curious about it as I am, then you probably won't mind me expounding on it a little further on the blog. And if you're not as curious, maybe this stat will pique your interest: The Eagles were first in the NFL with 50 sacks in 2011, and they did it by rushing just four players 82 percent of the time, according to the fine folks at Football Outsiders. Trent Cole and Jason Babin combined for 29 of those sacks.

- Each week, Baltimore Sun reporters Aaron Wilson and Matt Vensel will look back at the previous game of the Ravens and their next opponent.
- A few hours ago, I sat down and watched a replay of Sunday's game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns for a new Ravens feature from my colleague, Aaron Wilson, and me that will debut in Wednesday's paper.
