Baltimore Ravens 28, Dallas Cowboys 25
Derrick Henry rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Despite a late Cowboys rally, the Ravens held on for their first win.
My All 22 Review of the Cowboys vs Ravens:
Defense
1. The statement that we don’t have NFL DTs is a myth. We removed Phillips from the bunch and group got instantly better lol Not one DT got pushed 5-10 yards off the ball.
2. Mazi isn’t a bust. He’s just developing. Where has… x.com/i/web/status/1…
