The Baltimore Ravens were able to come out on top against the Denver Broncos in Week 4 of the 2021 season, winning by the final score of 23-7 in a game that featured a sloppy first quarter, but then saw Baltimore pull away in dominant fashion. The victory moved the Ravens to 3-1, while Denver fell to 3-1 on the year.
In an article by Jeff Breech of CBS Sports that handed out grades for every team’s Week 4 performance, Jordan Dajani gave out his assessment of Baltimore’s victory by giving them a “B+”. He explained that it was a good win overall, although he also mentioned that he thinks they didn’t have to do anything spectacular.
“The Ravens did not have to do anything spectacular on Sunday, as they just had to defend a double-digit lead from a backup quarterback in the second half. Still, credit to Lamar Jackson and the defense for showing up and taking care of business. This wasn’t the fun matchup we expected due to Teddy Bridgewater’s concussion, but Baltimore didn’t let anything funky happen in the second half. Good win. That’s three straight now for the Ravens.”
The Ravens were able to bounce back in a big way after their disappointing first quarter, as they saw many players step up on both sides of the ball. Baltimore handed Denver their first loss of the season, and the team will now play at M&T Bank Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football in Week 5.
