Now it’s more like it.

After a disappointing loss last week, the Baltimore Ravens responded 41-10. crushing the Denver Broncos Sunday. This game was going to reveal a lot about the Ravens and how they respond to adversity, and they came through with flying colors.

Not to be inferior, Derrick Henry He also had a great performance with 23 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. He’s now up to 1,000 yards midway through the season as he continues to prove his worth to Baltimore.

Zay Flowers also caught five passes for 127 yards and two touchdowns, his fourth 100-yard game in his last five appearances.
