Though the Ravens won last week

Penalty yardage Though the Ravens won last week, it came with a lot of mistakes. Baltimore made their share of mistakes at Tampa Bay to the tune of a league-high 122 penalty yards. I don't care if it's preseason—that's unacceptable. Sure, you're going to make mistakes but that many at any time is not right. Look for the Ravens to at least cut that number in half tonight. Points scored While the Ravens lead the NFL so far in penalty yardage, they are also tied for the NFL lead (with Buffalo) for points scored per game (44), which is obviously the most important stat of them all. I know not every teams played their starters very long (some key starters didn't play at all last week). But players that don't start still compete. This shows the kind of depth Baltimore has and is continuing to develop. Third down conversions A reason for that high scoring output is the Ravens' ability to convert on third down. Baltimore is tied for sixth in the league (with Oakland) with a 50 percent third down conversion rate this preseason. Flacco was 2-of-4 for 22 yards and one interception when he passed on third downs last week, so he didn't get that many chances to figure out who his new go-to receiver might be. But when a team converts 50 percent of its third downs, personnel is not a problem. Have patience. Maybe Ray Rice will be the "third down guy." You never know.
