The Ravens beat the NY Jets 10-9, on the road, and shut-up Jets Coach Rex Ryan. A less-than-full-strength Ravens defense became a nightmare for Jets QB Mark Sanchez's self-proclaimed "dream team," holding New York to 176 total yards and six first downs (one shy of the Ravens' record). Their offense continually burned CB Antonio Cromartie beating him for big plays and drawing four penalties on him. Ray Lewis and teammates tormented Sanchez, holding the second-year quarterback to 74 yards passing. The Ravens' secondary, missing safety Ed Reed and cornerbacks Domonique Foxworth and Lardarius Webb, let the Jets convert only one of 11 third downs . RB Ray Rice had 21 carries for 43 yards, while top WR Anquan Boldin caught seven catches for 110 yards. The Ravens have the offense to match their strong defense, which will take them far.
The Bengals dropped their season opening road game to the Patriots 24-38.Thier defense gave up two of three touchdown passes to Patriots WR Wes Welker. The supposed dynamic duo of Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens combined for 19 catches for 212 yards and a touchdown. Their wasn’t too many positives for their defense, though."We weren't ourselves today," Bengals cornerback Leon Hall said. "Today was really unacceptable." "Obviously, you allow a kickoff return for a touchdown and an interception return for a touchdown, that's hard to overcome," Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis said. "It's hard to see through the muck, but there were some positives." If they thought the Pats defense was tough, wait till they square off against the Ravens.
