Baltimore Ravens 29, Philadelphia Eagles 3
Too bad this game didn’t count as the Ravens completely dominated the Eagles last night. Steve McNair looked sharp last night as he completed 6 of 8 passes last night for 73 yards with a TD. Kyle Boller also had a decent showing as he completed 7 of 12 last night for 40 yards and he also ran the ball once for 20 yards. Troy Smith looked like he was still playing against the Florida Gators last night as he completed 3 of 11 passes for 34 yards and he also carried the ball 1 time for 13 yards. Drew Olson looked sharp when he entered the game completing 7 of 9 passes for 84 yards with a TD pass to rookie fullback Le’Ron McClain covering 4 yards. Willis McGahee looked sharp in his appearance last night with 4 carries for 20 yards (5.0 ypc). Cory Ross was a special teams player last season for the Ravens but he looked sharp running the ball last night as he had 11 carried for 65 yards (5.9 ypc). Undrafted rookie RB Greg Pruitt Jr. from North Carolina Central also had a nice game with 8 carries for 34 yards. The Ravens didn’t have any receivers that really stood out as 16 different players caught at least one pass. The Ravens pushed the Eagles defense around as they ran the ball 31 times for 157 yards (5.1 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 40 passes for 228 yards.
The Ravens defense was so intense last night that it appeared as though they thought this game counted. The Eagles only rushed for 23 yards on 18 carries (1.3 ypc) and they completed 23 of 36 passes for 130 yards.
