Winner: TE Charlie Kolar

Kolar dropped a ball. Kolar, also, hauled in four receptions for 45 yards and an average of 11+ yards per catch. That's fantastic, and that's all Kolar needed to silence those folks out there saying that Travis Vokolek was about to oust him and beat him to the TE3 role in the final 53-man roster to be named Tuesday.

Yes, Vokolek had two touchdowns at the start of the week against Washington, but Kolar was never going to miss on the final roster cut and he showed everybody why on Saturday.

Kolar is also young, just 24, and a second-year tight-end with a bright future in Baltimore (if Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely move on at some point) or elsewhere in the NFL because he will only grow from this point on.

Charlie-K hauled in a 19-yard pass to get things going on Saturday as that marked the outcome of the first play of the game. Not bad for an anchor.
