The number one group of this game was undoubtedly the receiving corps. Coming into the game, four Ravens receivers had legitimate shots at grabbing the fifth or sixth spot, and none of them made the decision easier on the Ravens staff.

Rookie’s Jeremy Butler (24 yards) and Michael Campanaro (55 yards) both caught three passes, as did third-year receiver Deonte Thompson, who totaled 25 receiving yards and hauled in his third touchdown of the preseason. No other Raven had more than one.

Standing out in this group was third-year receiver Kamar Aiken. He made four receptions for 57 yards, including a 27-yard play in the third quarter.

My prediction is that Thompson and Campanaro will both make the roster, even though Aiken put up such a great performance in Week 4.

Grade – A+
