Quarterback: D

Joe Flacco's passing numbers suggest a decent effort, but they were deceptive. His receivers were rarely open downfield and he often threw into coverage. He was fortunate to come away with only two interceptions (if the Bengals could catch better, he would have thrown four). Because his outside receivers couldn't get open, he had 13 completions to backs or tight ends.

Running backs: C

Ray Rice was relentless with 135 of the team's 215 total yards. He had eight catches for 87 yards, and 12 runs for 48 yards. But the Bengals were able to bottle him up for the most part, except for a 35-yard catch-and-run. Le'Ron McClain also had a nifty 19-yard catch-and-run. But falling behind quickly, the Ravens were not able to commit to the running game.

Receivers: F

Derrick Mason caught only three of 13 passes thrown to him. The Bengals have smothered him in both games this season. Same with Mark Clayton. There was no separation for the receivers against the Bengals' corners. And the receivers weren't able to come up with any jump balls. Todd Heap worked the middle for three catches but no damage.

Offensive line: D+
