Ravens Win 41-23 as New Offense Delivers Big Plays
Unresolved injuries to Zay Flowers plus a wrist issue for Ja’Kobi Lane alongside repeated offensive-line penalties will shape Baltimore’s preparation for Week 2
Overview
- The Ravens beat the Colts 41-23 on Sept. 13 with Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry producing high-impact performances that powered multiple scoring drives.
- Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle’s game plan generated several chunk plays in the first half and activated veteran Chris Moore, who posted a career-high all-purpose day after being added to the roster.
- Zay Flowers exited in the second quarter with a hamstring problem after about 150 receiving yards and a touchdown, and rookie Ja’Kobi Lane left with a wrist injury; coach Jesse Minter provided no definitive postgame updates.
- Baltimore’s offense was repeatedly hampered by pre-snap and offensive-line penalties that wiped out big gains, a problem traced to limited preseason reps and unit cohesion.
- The defense forced key turnovers that flipped the game and now the team must balance the early offensive promise with injury management and discipline work ahead of Week 2 against the Saints.
