The Baltimore Ravens secured a convincing 41-23 victory against the Indianapolis Colts in their season opener at Lucas Oil Stadium on September 10, showcasing more than 500 yards of offense and a dominant rushing attack. Despite the strong performance, the team aims to address issues such as penalties, pass protection, and building depth at wide receiver ahead of their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints. Notable concerns include 10 penalties for 86 yards that hampered their efficiency and injuries to key players like Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane, who are both facing setbacks. The Ravens look to refine these areas to enhance their success moving forward.
