Baltimore Ravens record there first preseason victory at home against the Buffalo Bills.Last weeks performance left the players coaches and fans all wondering if this years squad had what it took to be competitive in the highly talented AFC North.
This game featured alot of reps from the ones and it was a ton of positives to take from it.Joe Flacco struggled early on but ultimately found his stride and delivered a very impressive drive in the third that led to a touchdown to Mike Wallace.The vet racked in 5 rec for 127 yards which makes him the clear favorite in the running for the led receiver on the depth chat.
Defense showed up to play this game which was a huge relief.Both starting corners Jimmy Smith and Marlon Humphery racked in interceptions this game.The pass rush was also lethal, the team recorded 5 total QB tackles when the starts were on the field.
But the most impressive showing was back up QB Ryan Mallet finishing the game with a QBR of 155.7.His efforts set up Mr. Automatic himself Justin Tucker to kick the game winning field goal in the OT.
One week of preseason left. One more week to get better.
