Titans D stifles the punchless Ravens 25-10

It was a different man under center, but the same result for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday in Tennessee. The Tennessee Titans controlled the ball for most of the first half, mixing up the run and pass effectively, and Baltimore once again stumbled on offense in a 25-10 defeat.

Both teams entered the game off embarrassing losses, and neither wanted to begin the year 0-2. Titans quarterback Steve McNair looked as though he was nearly back to his old self, as he completed 19-of-36 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown. As they did against Pittsburgh the week before, they grabbed an early lead, but were able to control the line of scrimmage and avoid costly turnovers this time around.

The Baltimore Ravens were held to only 182 yards on offense, including just 14 yards on the ground. Once Tennessee put the clamps on Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis, Anthony Wright's arm was not enough to save the day. Lewis was held to nine yards on ten carries. Wright threw for 212 yards on 25-of-40 passing, but was sacked six times and picked off once.
