Going into the 3rd quarter Justin Tucker put up two field goals to put the Ravens up 27-13.
Ravens rookie running back Keaton Mitchell, who didn't see the ball much in the second half against the Browns, got more of workload this go around, catching passes out of the backfield and carrying the ball throughout most of the 4th quarter.
He finished with 33 rushing yards and 8 receiving yards.
Another shining star in the Ravens offense, 1st year Raven Odell Beckham Jr., who finished the game with 4 catches and 116 yards.
