In a battle of the birds, the Ravens flew higher.
Baltimore defeated the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-7, in Saturday’s preseason opener, as a late touchdown was the only thing standing in the way of the Ravens’ first preseason shutout since 2019.
With almost all of the Ravens’ starters not playing, plenty of players got opportunities to make their cases for a spot on the 53-man roster. Both sides of the ball played well, and Baltimore opened the preseason on a positive note.
