Quick Take: Ravens could give Vick even more fits

NFL.com and NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport has his thoughts on the game:

Why this game is intriguing: Before opening week, it was obvious to say this game would feature one dynamic offense that makes the best use of its quarterback and a tenacious defense that never stops. Now, we must wonder, which team is which? It was the Ravens, of course, who destroyed the Bengals with a no-huddle offense that is bringing out the best in cannon-armed Joe Flacco. And it's Michael Vick who arrives on the heels of last week's struggles that almost caused his team to cough up a sure win. The defense won that game for the Eagles. Will each team revert back to form? Or are they both in a new reality?

What to watch: All eyes are on Vick, whose performance last week accelerated the grumbles of one of the NFL's most grumble-licious fan bases. Vick threw four picks in a gross win over the Browns and nearly had another stolen on his game-winning drive. An injury to receiver Jeremy Maclin's hip might also be a factor. Toss that together with the fact that Baltimore didn't seem to miss Terrell Suggs when it came to rushing the passer, and it'll be fascinating to see how the Eagles help Vick find his rhythm and comfort zone.
