The game

Justin Tucker's 54-yard field goal with just over a minute to go lifts the Ravens to a 3-0 start for the third time in franchise history. PG 2

Preston's take

The Ravens have played only three games, but it's safe to say that the defense's front seven will have to carry the team this year. PG 3

A special day

A go-ahead field goal and another blocked kick salvage an uneven day for the Ravens' normally consistent special teams group. PG 4
