Ravens get on the board first with a short Terrance West touchdown run. The eight-play drive was jumpstarted by a 23-yard pass interference penalty, and an illegal formation penalty on a field goal attempt extended the drive.



We are away in Baltimore. No Flacco for Baltimore, so Ryan Mallett gets the start. That start is a three-and-out.

Preview

These teams met during the regular season last year in October. The Redskins eked out a 16-10 win, getting an 85-yard punt return TD from Jamison Crowder and a third quarter TD from Cousins to Garcon. The home team struggled, finishing with 306 but failing to score in the second half.

Garcon is gone, and the Redskins made moves in the offseason to replace him. Terrelle Pryor caught 77 passes for 1,007 yards for the Browns last year, but turned down a bigger deal in Cleveland to take a one year, $8 million deal in Washington.

In Baltimore, the changes on offense are not ones made in free agency. The injury bug struck the Ravens early this year, with running back Kenneth Dixon suffering a season-ending meniscus injury in the early days of training camp. Joe Flacco is also dealing with back issues, which gave the Ravens the unfortunate distinction of being the first team to pass up on signing Colin Kaepernick as a backup option.
