The Baltimore Ravens took care of business in their preseason battle with the Los Angeles Rams.

It was a good night for the Baltimore Ravens as they crushed the Los Angeles Rams 33-7. The Ravens starters looked good. This was a huge sigh of relief because the Rams gave their starters a night off. Don Martindale has to be happy with the defense. The Ravens gave up only one touchdown and the unit looked sharp throughout the game. Marty Mornhinweg can’t be too disappointed about the offense. The purple and black put up some points and played about as good of an exhibition game as they could. Here are six Ravens whose stock went up a little bit in this lopsided preseason victory:

6. Lamar Jackson:

Lamar Jackson showed improvement in his second preseason game. Jackson scored a touchdown with his legs but he looked much more able as a passer than he did a week ago. Jackson was given a huge opportunity. Once Joe Flacco knocked some rust off, Jackson was inserted into the lineup to see what he could do. Jackson got the bulk of the playing time and it went well. The Ravens avoided bad plays. There were no turnovers and Jackson didn’t take too many hits as a passer. Jackson had a touchdown run and it looked like he was back at Louisville. Jackson took advantage of the playing time. He looked comfortable on the field and he took some chances. It was a positive step for Jackson and at this point that’s all anybody can ask.

5. Tim Williams:

Tim Williams showed off his athletic prowess in this game. He had three tackles and a sack and he created a good bit of pressure on the Rams quarterback. Williams showed that he is a force to be reckoned with off the edge. He came flying off the edge in this game and it was a sight for sore eyes in Baltimore. Williams stock is up in a big way after this game. A confident Williams could be a scary pass rusher for the Ravens’ opponents.
