Baltimore Ravens: Stock up, stock down after Week 1 win

Stock Up: ILB Patrick Queen and Roquan Smith

Smith broke a franchise-Week-1 record by tackling opponents 16 times on Sunday, something not even Legendary Raven Ray Lewis (14) ever got to do on a season opener.

Queen tackled 11 foes himself. Both men got a sack, hit rookie QB C.J. Stroud, and kept building on their already-strong relationship in the middle of the second level of the Ravens defensive unit.

If Queen and Smith are not the best ILB tandem across the NFL they must be the closest thing to it that there is.

As much criticism as the defensive line and pass-rushing unit endured all summer long, nearly every member of the unit put on a show in Week 1 and helped the depleted secondary to limit the Texans' offense to score just a few field goals throughout the game.
