Offense
Overall: D
The Ravens looked to be cooking early. Their first possession of the game was a 12-play, 80-yard thing of beauty, resulting in an eight-yard touchdown run by Lamar Jackson. The second drive started with a nine-yard run by Gus Edwards, a 20-yard pass to Mark Andrews and a 24-yard catch-and-run to Kenyan Drake — who then fumbled the ball away, seemingly casting a spell on the offense the rest of the game.
