The big name at this position in week two was return specialist Jacoby Jones. He led the pack with three receptions for 49 yards through the air.

“Shhh, don’t tell anybody, but this guy is really good.” This is what Ravens’ color commentator Qadry Ismail had to say about 6-foot-5 receiver Marlon Brown. The second-year man caught two passes for 31 yards. Brown has glue on his hands and has an distinct advantage at the slot-receiver position with his height. Due to the addition of Steve Smith, Brown’s targets will likely decline from last year, but that doesn’t mean that his production will.

Nine other Ravens caught passes in this game including first-stringer Torrey Smith, who recorded the only receiving touchdown for the Ravens in this game on a 19-yard toss from Joe Flacco.
