5 Takeaways: Redskins-Ravens

1. The defensive unit made sure to master the situation with pressure mounting.
The game did not get off to the best of starts for the Redskins on Sunday afternoon, as the Ravens marched down the field on nine plays to score a seven-yard touchdown on the opening drive.

Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco went 4-of-4 on the drive including a touchdown pass to tight end Crockett Gilmore, while running back Terrance West set a career-high with a 35-yard carry on the fifth play of the game.

But as the game wore on, the defensive unit clamped down and did not allow a touchdown for the rest of the game.
