The Baltimore Ravens have been perfect inside the opponent's 20-yard line this season
http://www.baltimoreravensteamauthentic.com/justin-tucker-jersey��, scoring 12 touchdowns on a dozen trips in the red zone.Denver still hasn't quite got the hang of it yet.Baltimore (2-1) went 3 for 3 in the red zone Sunday and came away with a 27-14 victory. Joe Flacco threw a 12-yard touchdown pass, Alex Collins scored on a 6-yard run and Javorius Allen pounded in from the 1."You have to give the players credit," coach John Harbaugh said. "Joe has done a great job. We've run the ball down there very well. It doesn't always show up on the stats, but you have to be able to run the ball in the red zone."Denver (2-1) got inside the Baltimore 20 twice in the fourth quarter, looking to cut the deficit under a touchdown. On each occasion, the Broncos came away with nothing.Coach Vance Joseph lamented his team's mistakes and penalties, but acknowledged that the Ravens have what it takes to score when close to the goal line."We gave them a couple of short fields and they punched it in on
us," Joseph said. "They've been great in the red zone. So, it's what we expected."Some things we learned from the Broncos-Ravens game:HAPPY TO SHARECollins and Allen are developing into a potent 1-2 punch.Collins rushed 18 times for 68 yards, and Allen scored twice. Allen's 12-yard TD catch in the second quarter gave a Ravens a 17-14 lead and they never looked back.Allen said he's delighted with the team's two-pronged approach."You see what it can do," he said. "You never know who's getting the ball, where it's going. Run

As long as they keep drawing up plays for us to make, we're going to make them."ROOKIE EJECTEDThe Broncos didn't establish the run, despite totaling 120 yards on the ground and averaging 5.0 yards a carry.One reason is that Phillip Lindsay was ejected just before halftime for throwing a punch in a scrum after a fumble.Lindsay became the first undrafted rookie to total 100 yards from scrimmage in each of his first two games.The streak ended with a thud Sunday. He ran for 20 yards and didn't catch a pass."He's obviously a big part of what we do offensively," Joseph said. "Losing him, that's a big deal."SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS: The fact that the Broncos were assessed 120 yards on 13 penalties was a huge factor in the defeat.Not only did Lindsay get 15 yards for throwing a punch, but rookie Isaac Yiadom got 15 yards for delivering a push — while standing on the sideline during a kickoff return."We can't do that. It probably cost us 20 points today," Joseph said of the infractions. "A lot of the penalties really were guys losing their composure."TO THE HOUSE, AND BACKRavens inside linebacker Patrick Onwuasor effectively ended the Broncos' fourth-quarter comeback attempt with his first career interception.With the Broncos at the Ravens' 15-yard-line, Onwuasor picked off a Case Keenum pass and sprinted for an apparent touchdown, stumbling into the end zone while getting swarmed by his teammates.The play, however was called back when linebacker Matthew Judon was called for an illegal block."I broke on the ball and I saw the play in front of me
http://www.baltimoreravensteamauthentic.com/maxx-williams-jersey��," Onwuasor said. "I saw Judon put a great block out there in front of me on the return, but it got called back. Judon may owe me some food or something."NOT MILLER TIME: Baltimore's shaky offensive line should have been an opportunity for Broncos linebacker Von Miller to enhance his sack total, which stood at an NFL-best four before the game.Instead, Miller was largely quiet. He had two tackles and no sack.He was also upset about being called offside twice."I don't understand it," he said. "When we practice, we don't have all those penalties. We have to clean that up."Ravens vs. Dolphins preseason game: Open Thread For the third time this preseason, fans get to enjoy watching Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin III on the gridiron. Unfortunately, Joe Flacco and most of the starters are not participating, likely due to the recent injuries to Hayden Hurst and Ronnie Stanley. The Ravens are taking every precaution necessary as the previous years they suffered big-name injuries early.Ravens vs. Dolphins: InactivesContent to enjoy during commercialsQ&A with the enemy: 5 questions with The Phinsider5 predictions for Ravens vs. DolphinsTake it to the Bank: Ravens vs. Dolphins previewSocial MediaAs always, I do ask for you to please follow and ‘like’ us on various social media outlets.Twitter: @BMoreBeatdownFacebook: Baltimore Beatdown: For Baltimore Ravens fansInstagram: baltimore_beatdownGO RAVENS!
