Linebackers

Two words: C.J. Mosley. (Or is that three words?) After missing a tackle in one of the first plays of the game, the rookie performed better than any other Ravens defensive player in this game. He totaled a team-high five tackles and took down backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert  behind the line of scrimmage at the end of the second quarter, recording one of two sacks for the Ravens on the night.

Linebacker’s Zach Orr and Albert McClellan recorded two tackles each. Those were the only linebackers with multiple tackles, but Mosley alone was enough to get Ravens fans excited.

Second-year linebacker Arthur Brown did record one tackle in the game, which resulted in a loss of yardage.

Grade – B+
