Winner: QB Josh Johnson

Started Saturday's game, played into the second quarter, finished 6-of-9 for 95 yards and a touchdown, and was only eventually replaced by a no-TD-scored Anthony Brown midway through the second frame.

Had Tyler Huntley been available and reasonably fit (let alone at 100% capacity), Johnson might have not even started this game or endured a much tougher assignment when it comes to fending off his younger teammate for the coveted QB2 role.

Didn't happen, and Johnson exits the preseason probably leading Huntley if only on pure performance and production levels this summer. Johnson seems to fit Monken's all-guns-firing approach with downfield throws and at 37 years of age it's not that you can have a much-more-polished guy to rely on if needed.

Johnson might miss on making the 53-man roster but he's a lock to become a Practice Squad member in Baltimore or elsewhere.
