Although he was active, Torrey Smith barely saw the field on Sunday. His absence, however, ended up being a good thing for the Ravens passing game. Flacco spread the ball out and hit nine different receivers on the day, which is the largest number of receivers that he has thrown to in a single game this season.

Leading the Ravens in receiving was obviously Steve Smith Sr., who hauled in seven passes for 70 yards and a touchdown. But the player that landed second in receiving might surprise you. That player was none other than undrafted free agent Kamar Aiken. The fourth-year man from Hollywood, Florida, caught just 16 passes coming into this game. He recorded six receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown.

Another good sign was seeing slot-receiver Marlon Brown catch three passes for 30 yards in this game. He went down in the second quarter of last week’s game against San Diego and did not return after suffering a concussion, so seeing him out there contributing was a big plus.

Grade: A+
