The Baltimore Ravens really took it to the Philadelphia Eagles and got a win. Here is the good, the bad and the ugly from the preseason contest:

The Good:

When talking about the good for the Baltimore Ravens tonight, you have to start with Trace McSorley. McSorley got the start and he took advantage of it. He finished 19-28 passing for 202 yards and two touchdowns. McSorley had a full command of the offense and really took over the game. The running game was tough sledding. McSorley had to get things going for the offense to get anything done. So the first positive note has to go out to McSorley. He’s making a good bid for a roster spot.

Marquise Brown got his first action in an NFL game. Brown had three receptions for 17 yards. He caught a pass in the end zone on a two point conversion that got called back due to a penalty. Brown showed that he wasn’t rusty. He caught everything that was thrown his way and ran good routes. It was a good start for Brown. The anticipation for Brown’s debut was palpable. It was good to see the Ravens’ first round pick finally get into the action.

There were some great highlight plays in the passing game. Miles Boykin had a reception where he showed off his speed and picked up 44 yards. Mark Andrews carried a couple Eagles defenders on a 25 yard gain. Michael Floyd won a one on one match up and scored a touchdown.

Defensively, Tyus Bowser was one of the brightest play-makers. Bowser had a sack in which he got off the edge untouched. He had burst that the Eagles had trouble dealing with. Patrick Onwuasor and Brandon Carr shared a sack against Cody Kessler on an early fourth down stop. DeShon Elliott’s athleticism stood out at the safety position. Elliott had four tackles in the game.
