Ravens Roll Over Broncos: Brown's Five Key Takeaways
An Impressive Start for Huntley
Despite the absence of Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley proved his capability as a starting quarterback. He led the Ravens to a dominant victory, completing 27 of 32 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. With his poise and accuracy, Huntley showed that he can be a formidable leader for the Ravens' offense.
Brown's Dominance
Wide receiver Marquise Brown had a breakout performance, catching eight passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns. He consistently got open against the Broncos' defense and made several spectacular plays. Brown's performance highlighted his speed, route-running ability, and chemistry with Huntley.
Effective Ground Game
The Ravens' running game played a pivotal role in their win, with Devonta Freeman leading the charge with 74 rushing yards. Gus Edwards also contributed 48 yards. The combination of Huntley's passing and the strong running game kept the Broncos' defense off balance and allowed the Ravens to control the tempo of the game.
Stingy Defense
The Ravens' defense was relentless, holding the Broncos to just 10 points. They forced three turnovers, including two interceptions by Anthony Averett and Marlon Humphrey. The defense also sacked Drew Lock three times and limited the Broncos' running game to just 67 yards.
Improved Special Teams
The Ravens' special teams units also contributed to the victory. Justin Tucker converted all three field goal attempts, including a 52-yarder. The coverage units did a great job preventing any big returns from the Broncos. The improved special teams play was a sign that the Ravens are addressing one of their weaknesses from previous seasons.
