Ravens report card: 10/26/2017

The Baltimore Ravens beat the Miami Dolphins 40 to 0. The Ravens lost quarterback Joe Flacco in the first half after taking a dirty hit on a slide. Still the Ravens defense scored two touchdowns and the entire team played great.

Quarterbacks: It is rare that I get to talk about two quarterbacks in a report card. Ryan Mallett and Joe Flacco both played well but Flacco was better. Flacco was 10 for 15 for 101 yards and a touchdown and a 107.9 quarterback rating. Flacco’s touchdown pass to Jeremy Maclin was a thing of beauty. Mallett also had a touchdown pass. Grade A

Runningbacks: Alex Collins had his first 100 plus yard rushing day and averaged 6.3 yards per carry. Collins continues to impress and his Irish Dancing was the talk of the broadcast booth. Collins also had 30 yards receiving. Buck Allen also played well and had 55 rushing yards. Grade B+

Receivers: The Ravens got Maclin back and he showed how important he is to the Ravens. Maclin had a huge 34-yard touchdown reception early in the game to set the tone of the game. Ben Watson added a touchdown pass and Nick Boyle had some good receptions as well. The Ravens did not have costly drops this game but Breshad Perriman still went without a reception. In fact, Maclin was the only wide receiver with a reception. Grade B

Offensive line: Ryan Jensen showed he is a great teammate when he stood up for Flacco. The Ravens line played much better than it has in past weeks. The Ravens did not allow a sack in the game. Grade B+

Defensive line: The defensive line has been allowing a lot of yards on the ground but that changed this game. The Ravens only allowed 55 total rushing yards. The Ravens also had three sacks of Dolphins quarterback Matt Moore. Grade A

Linebackers: C.J. Mosley had an amazing pick six to really finish the game up for the Ravens. The linebackers were solid. Grade A

Secondary: Jimmy Smith had a pick six late in the game to add to the Ravens lead. The secondary was awesome in this game. Brandon Carr lead the Ravens in tackles with seven. Grade A

Special Teams:  Justin Tucker was two for three on field goals.  The Ravens covered the punts much better.  Grade B

Coaching staff:  The Ravens were hyped up and ready to win.  All units played great and even survived losing their franchise quarterback.  Grade A

Overall: Great team win, hopefully the Ravens can use this momentum to out together a winning streak.
