Today we put up 37 and held the Ravens to 13 before they got a gimme TD in the last minute with our 2nd-stringers in there.
I'd heard the Ravens were a bit banged up to begin the game, and they suffered a few more injuries during this one including their QB Lamar Jackson enduring his hamstring going on him late in the game.
We got decent production from our running game and the standard fine play from Patrick particularly when we got into the red zone. TD passes to four different receivers -- JuJu, Isiah, Tyquan, and Hollywood -- this one on 4th down -- were very nice. And JuJu is our go-to guy for possession catches. He's not as fast and shifty as he once was, but he runs the cleanest routes and Patrick finds him.
The best was getting Xavier Worthy back in there, he had a number of catches as well as some nice runs on those jet sweep things.
And what can you say about our defense. Even with their injuries the Ravens still had key weapons on offense, yet we really slammed the door on those guys. Spags has for a while now been acknowledged as the best DC in the game, and today it showed. It'd be nice if we could just rush four most times, but he blitzes from everywhere and nowhere keeping the offense guessing and scrambling and bumbling about. When he was in there, Lamar never seemed to get anything close to a rhythm.
As far as special teams go, Harrison missed another long FG, but I still just don't see any concerns there. He'll work things out. And our kick return guy, Nikko Remigio, is a stud. He had another nice long bouncing-off-guys kick return today. Our SPC Dave Toub, also recognized as one of the best, has our guys dialed in as usual.
Next week we're on prime-time again -- awright! Monday night against the so-far very good Jaguars.
