BALTIMORE (AP) — The manner in which Baltimore manhandled Buffalo in the season opener seemingly validates the Ravens‘ effort to address their shortcomings of a year ago.
Joe Flacco threw touchdown passes to each of his three new wide receivers Aaron Jones Jersey , the defense was relentless in its debut for coordinator Don Martindale and special teams chipped in with a pair of field goals and a 51-yard punt return in a 47-3 rout Sunday.
For one day, at least, everything went according to plan.
“It’s great to see it unfold,” running back Javorius Allen said. “It’s like a flower, and it blossomed.”
The Bills, on the other hand, had virtually all of their fears come true. They got nothing from the quarterback position, couldn’t move on the ground and never recovered after falling behind 14-0 in the rain before the game was 14 minutes old.
“We got off to a very bad start. It seemed like we came out flat,” running back and team captain LeSean McCoy said. “Collectively, we didn’t play well. It wasn’t one guy’s fault, it was all of us.”
Most of the scrutiny fell on starting quarterback Nathan Peterman, who went 5 for 18 for 24 yards and two interceptions before being replaced by rookie Josh Allen in the third quarter.
And now Jordan Poyer Jersey , one game into the season, there’s a quarterback controversy. Coach Sean McDermott will consider his options carefully leading up to Sunday’s home opener against the Los Angeles Chargers.
“I’m going to look at everything,” he said. “It’s too early to go one way or another.”
There was plenty of blame to throw around after Buffalo failed to make a first down until the third quarter and was penalized 10 times for 100 yards.
“It was a full, total team effort there,” he said.
Some things we learned about the Ravens and Bills:
BALANCED ATTACK
Although the Ravens have always had a reputation for an aggressive defense, their new-look offense helped pave the way for a lopsided win.
Six players scored touchdowns, including receivers John Brown , Michael Crabtree and Willie Snead, who were signed as free agents to upgrade an ineffective passing game.
“It’s just awesome because, in my opinion, we have one of the best defenses in the league,” Snead said. “Nobody really expects us to put up those kind of points and be as dominant on defense as we are.”
The defense appreciated the assist.
“To be a good team you need a good special teams Kentrell Brice Jersey , a good offense and a good defense,” linebacker Terrell Suggs said. “You can’t have one without the other two.”
NO O-LINE
After losing veteran center Eric Wood and Pro Bowl left guard Richie Incognito, as well as trading away left tackle Cordy Glenn, the Bills hoped their revamped offensive line could jell in a hurry.
It did not. The ground game sputtered and Buffalo yielded six sacks.
“There were times when I thought we could have been better up front,” McDermott said.
ONE DOWN, 15 TO GO
Lest anyone forget, the Ravens blanked Cincinnati on the road in last year’s opener, a victory that ultimately proved meaningless in a 9-7 season.
“You can’t tell anything by one game,” Suggs said. “We got one in the can on our home field. It’s only one game. We think we can get better.”
Despite playing without suspended cornerback Jimmy Smith and injured tackle Willie Henry, the Ravens were dominant on defense.
“The guys that played did a phenomenal job,” Suggs said. “We have a couple of pieces out and we’re looking forward to getting those pieces back.”
GETTING DEFENSIVE
Buffalo was banking on a newly configured defensive line to limit the run, but the Ravens crossed up the Bills on a wet field by throwing the ball early.
“We thought they were going to try to run the ball more than they did Eric Kendricks Jersey , especially with the weather conditions,” said defensive end Trent Murphy, an offseason free agent addition. “That was the biggest surprise.”
SACK HAPPY
Cornerback Tavon Young became the first Ravens defensive back to get two sacks in a game since Bennie Thompson in 1996.
Young revealed that he hadn’t had a sack since his freshman year at Temple.
“That’s crazy, isn’t it?” he said with a grin.
Tom Brady has thrown touchdown passes to many receivers during his 18 NFL seasons. He'll likely be adding new names to the list.The Patriots receiving corps took a hit this offseason: the trade of Brandin Cooks to the Rams; the free-agency departure of Danny Amendola to Miami; and Julian Edelman's suspension for the first four games for a drug-policy violation.
That leaves New England's top returning wide receiver as Chris Hogan, who had 34 catches for 439 yards and five touchdowns in 2017.
It means there will be an opportunity for others. The candidates are a mix of familiar names of newcomers.
Hogan earned Brady's trust the past two seasons and will certainly be a major part of the passing offense, along with All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski. But it will also be a chance for the likes of Phillip Dorsett, Jordan Matthews and Kenny Britt to become factors in offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' system.
Dorsett said going through his first offseason program in New England has been big help.
"I'm just light years past where I was last year when it came to just knowing the playbook (and) knowing what to do," said Dorsett, a 2015 first-round pick by the Colts, who was traded to New England for Jacoby Brissett just before the start of last season. "I feel comfortable at every position."
And Dorsett seems to be a guy the coaching staff is looking to play multiple positions. He was lined up both in the slot and on the outside during spring drills.
The wild card in the discussion is third-year receiver Malcolm Mitchell, who spent all of 2017 on injured reserve with a knee injury. He missed the opening day of training camp Thursday. He was on the field Friday, though he joined the team only for warmups before heading to a separate field for rehabbing players.
Coach Bill Belichick declined to say whether Mitchell might be on the trade block this preseason Robbie Gould Jersey , but his presence is a welcome sign for a player who showed lots of potential as a rookie in 2016.
Mitchell appeared in 14 games that season, hauling in 32 passes for 401 yards and four touchdowns. He also had six catches for 70 yards in New England's Super Bowl win over Atlanta.
Matthews has a similar injury history. He was plagued by knee and ankle issues the past two seasons before being signed by the Patriots to a one-year deal in April.
Meanwhile, Britt's situation mirrors Dorsett's, with Britt having just gone through his first spring in New England after signing in December and appearing in only three games last season.
Hogan is just two years removed from being a wide-eyed newcomer to the Patriots when he arrived in 2016. Now entering his third season in New England, Hogan said he wants to be the veteran presence that players like Edelman and Amendola were for him.
He likes the group and expects there to be tough decisions for the coaches to make by the end of camp.
"The competition brings out the best in people," Hogan said. "It's great that we have such a great room and a lot of guys that want to compete. ... When we come out here, we're not going through the motions."
