10 questions emerging from Baltimore Ravens loss to Pittsburgh Steelers
6. Which Baltimore Ravens wide out will be the first to step up?
The Baltimore Ravens wide receivers in general, were a letdown on Sunday. It is easy to excuse Zay Flowers because he has already ascended to being their top threat as a rookie. However, Nelson Agholor, Rashod Bateman, and Odell Beckham have all failed to live up to expectations so far.
That may be harsh for Agholor, who has been good in the first couple of weeks, but a typical drop by Agholor cost his team at a key moment. Beckham was bodied by Joey Porter Jr. and it led to an interception that cost the Ravens points.
Bateman had a drop that cost his team points as well. Both Bateman and Beckham are in their first game back after injuries. Were they in a funk or shaking off some rust? Can one of them snap out of this and play better?
