The group I called the best of the preseason for the Ravens last week continued to perform well in Week 4.

Second-year middle linebacker Arthur Brown led the team in tackles with four, all solo. After leading the team in tackles last week as well with five, he could be featured in many more of the Ravens plays on defense.

However, the top linebacker of this game was undoubtedly second-year man John Simon, who was all over the place in this one. He recorded three solo tackles, four quarterback hits and one sack. Not bad.

Grade – A
