Ravens Soar Over Giants, Setting Stage for Heated Steelers Matchup

The game, held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, saw an attendance of 77,455 fans who witnessed the Ravens' dominance on both sides of the ball.
Ravens' Offensive Mastery
The Ravens' offense was nothing short of spectacular, with quarterback Lamar Jackson leading the charge. Jackson completed an impressive 84 percent of his passes for a total of 290 yards and five touchdowns.

Linebacker Malik Harrison stood out defensively by notching one sack and contributing six combined tackles (one solo), further stifling any attempt by New York to gain momentum.
