Wide Receivers and Tight Ends:

Tight Ends. Ravens. WIDE RECEIVERS. C+. Maclin and Ben Watson get an A. Everybody else gets a C. Breshad Perriman dropped a pass right in his hands and then had a miscommunication with Flacco. Wallace had one catch for seven yards, so it wasn’t anything for him to write home about. No other wide receiver came away with a reception. Maclin had his second touchdown of the season and grabbed four passes for 31 yards. Watson led the way with eight receptions for 91 yards. Watson didn’t score a touchdown but he was clearly the most integral weapon in the game plan. The Ravens need other players to step up. The Ravens passing game is too reliant on Maclin and Watson. Baltimore must find another element of their passing attack. Flacco and the receivers have to work out some kinks. If one thing is obvious, they’re not thinking on the same wavelength. This could be a nasty side effect of Flacco missing the entire preseason.
