The Baltimore Ravens first preseason game is in the books. Who were the studs? Who were the duds?

Football is officially back ladies & gents. The Ravens beat the Panthers 22-19 on a hot and muggy night in their first game of the preseason. The new grass field was on display and held up well throughout the match.

Michael Phelps was the biggest star of the night, as the Ravens showed his race on the giant field screens. The crowd erupted as he won his 22nd gold medal, and even Cam Newton was seen celebrating the victory of his fellow Under Armour sponsor.

Joe Flacco didn’t play, but the offense still moved the ball well and produced points when needed. The defense was decent, run support was good but the secondary left much to be desired.

Here’s who we thought stood out yesterday, either impressing or disappointing us.
