Ravens vs Colts: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Baltimore Ravens kicked off their 2026 campaign on September 13 with an emphatic 41-23 road triumph over the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium. Making his head coaching debut alongside fresh coordinators, Jesse Minter guided Baltimore's revamped offensive and defensive systems through an explosive showing that amassed 506 total yards.

Lamar Jackson highlighted the afternoon's high-powered offensive output, including an evasive third-and-16 scramble where he dodged Indianapolis pass rushers to move the chains.

Despite the decisive Week 1 blowout, the victory did not come entirely without complications for Baltimore. The squad was forced to overcome a rash of penalties throughout the contest.

Furthermore, injuries sustained across the wide receiver corps emerged as a primary concern heading forward despite the otherwise commanding scoreline.
