The Baltimore Ravens have a top-two defence in the NFL, says Ray Lewis

Ray Lewis expects the Baltimore Ravens defence to cause problems for any team they face this season.
The Ravens will look to move to 3-0 when they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley on Sunday, live on Sky Sports Action.
Baltimore has conceded a total of just 10 points in wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns while producing 10 turnovers (eight interceptions, two fumble recoveries).
Lewis, a 13-time Pro Bowler who helped the team win two Super Bowls, believes the defence can inspire the Ravens get back to the playoffs after a two-year absence.
"They are probably one of the top two defences in football right now," Lewis told Sky Sports News.
"For them to have 10 turnovers in two weeks - that doesn't just happen. You have to be really, really good to make that happen.
"I think they have a real chance to go do something really good.
"Terrell Suggs up front is a very dominant force. At the linebacker position C.J. Mosley, with his smarts and his willingness to commit to being great.
"And then you think about a guy like [Eric] Weddle with his mentality. He has been around on some good teams but now he comes into a team where maybe he is not that one guy but there is a bunch of guys.
"With the pieces they have, it is going to be kind of rough on a lot of people to deal with this defence."
