Baltimore Ravens: Studs and duds from Week 2 vs. Chiefs
Stud: OLB Odafe Oweh
He was the next-to-last pick in the first round and general manager Eric DeCosta seemed intrigued with his raw ability. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein summed up Penn State’s Odafe Oweh this way. “It’s not all there yet, but with more coaching and experience, Oweh has the ability to rate as a Pro Bowl rush linebacker with the ability to stick a hand in the ground if you need it.”
He certainly came up big when Baltimore needed it against the Chiefs. He finished with three tackles. More importantly, he stripped Clyde Edwards-Helaire of the ball with less than two minutes to play and recovered the fumble that eventually enabled the Ravens to run out the clock.
Dud: CB Marlon Humphrey
Perhaps it was the fact that the Ravens didn’t generate much of a pass rush against Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He wound up throwing for 343 yards and three scores (1 interception) and made it look easy against a Ravens’ secondary that had its issues in Las Vegas last week.
Baltimore’s Marlon Humphrey is one of the premier cornerbacks in the league. But he was somewhat quiet on Sunday night, totaling just four solo tackles and one pass defense.
