There wasn’t a lot to celebrate in this one. The Raiders managed to hang around with the Ravens in the first half, but it was clear the Ravens were just toying with them. Knowing they could have their way with the Raiders, the Ravens decided in the first half to make it a point for quarterback Lamar Jackson to not run the ball as much. They wanted to see if he could run the offense from the pocket and through the air.
While it wasn’t a rousing success, the Ravens still took a 13-10 lead into the half, mostly due to a 70-yard punt return touchdown.
