The Baltimore Ravens had a chance last Thursday to separate themselves from the rest of the AFC North if they beat the 2-7 Miami Dolphins.
The weekend went perfectly; the Cincinnati Bengals were on a bye, the Cleveland Browns were annihilated by the New England Patriots, and the Pittsburgh Steelers ended up tying with the winless Detroit Lions.
However, the Ravens failed to take advantage as they came out flat and lost to the Dolphins 22-10. Although the defense played well, there were too many breakdowns that led to big plays. And the offense was pathetic overall.
Even though it was a disappointing performance, there were some positives to take from the game. All of the Ravens rookies played well in this game.
They have been playing well all season, but on a day when overall the entire team’s performance wasn’t up to par, their play really stood out.
Let’s go into depth on how well the Ravens rookies have played this season.
