Ravens: Studs and duds following a disappointing Week 1 loss

Sometimes, you get a game and it has everything. Those of you who were wondering what a Las Vegas home crowd would look like got your answer.

Once this one got going, it didn’t disappoint. Baltimore got some Herculean efforts from some unexpected areas, but some of their guys also laid some eggs as well. That’s to be expected. Heck, it was Week 1.
