Ravens will look to get offense rolling against Raiders

Associated Press  

BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Ravens are looking to get more of their offensive playmakers involved in their home opener against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said the team doesn’t want to be one-dimensional, even though the Ravens added four-time Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry in the offseason. Despite Harbaugh’s comments this week, Henry should get more opportunities against the Raiders, who allowed 176 yards rushing in their 22-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. Las Vegas also has to contend with quarterback Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL MVP who accounted for 395 of the Ravens’ 452 total yards against Kansas City. He’s definitely a great edge rusher.” Defensive challenge The Raiders offense had an uneven performance against the Chargers and finished with 296 yards.
