Much like the other two positions, the receivers put on display a very nice performance in this game.

It obviously starts with, who else, but Steve Smith Sr., who caught four passes for 89 yards and an amazing touchdown grab. But believe it or not, he did not lead the Ravens in receiving on Monday Night, and that’s a good thing.

The reason it’s a good occurrence is because the player that did lead the Ravens in receiving was none other than Torrey Smith, who hauled in five passes for 98 yards. Smith Jr. (if you will) has just been performing so much better over the last six or seven weeks, so let’s hope that both the Smiths can continue their success.
