The Baltimore Ravens concluded their preseason by overwhelming the Washington Commanders, 41-3, at M&T Bank Stadium. Baltimore outgained Washington 456-177, rushed for 195 yards and allowed only seven first downs. It was a strong final evaluation for a roster that appears deep enough to release several players who could help other teams.
Here are the biggest winners and losers from the finale.
Winner: Joe Fagnano
Fagnano completed 19 of 27 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown while adding a 1-yard scoring run. He did not turn the ball over and led four scoring possessions after replacing Tyler Huntley.
More importantly, Fagnano finished an impressive three-game audition with a 74.7% completion rate, 509 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He has
done everything reasonably possible to earn a roster spot.
Winner: Chris Moore
Moore caught three passes for 54 yards on Baltimore's first possession, finishing the drive with a contested 25-yard touchdown. Huntley's only series was enough for Moore to remind the coaching staff of his ability to provide dependable veteran depth.
Winner: Adam Randall
Randall gained 25 yards on five carries and caught three passes for 45 yards. His 70 yards from scrimmage led Baltimore's primary running back competitors and strengthened his case to join Derrick Henry and Justice Hill on the active roster.
Winners: Kaimon Rucker and Adisa Isaac
Rucker and Isaac entered the game needing to separate in a crowded outside linebacker race. Instead, both delivered.
Rucker had six tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack. Isaac produced six tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack on fourth down. Both players won their individual auditions, even if that left Baltimore with a more complicated decision.
Winner: Lardarius Webb Jr.
Webb forced a fumble on kickoff coverage and later broke up a pass. His work was another example of the quality Baltimore has developed near the back of its cornerback depth chart.
A 53-man spot remains difficult to find, but Webb gave the Ravens another reason to bring him back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
Winner: The reserve offensive line
Baltimore averaged 6.5 yards per rushing attempt and did not allow a sack on 39 dropbacks. The quarterbacks had time, the backs had room and the offense produced 456 yards without its starting line.
Loser: Tyler Loop
Loop made a 51-yard field goal and a 24-yard attempt, but missed from 58 and 51. He went 2-for-4 Friday and 5-for-8 during the preseason.
The degree of difficulty matters, but so does the position. Baltimore expects to play close games with championship stakes. Loop's inconsistency created a conversation the Ravens did not want to have entering Week 1.
Loser: Austin Reed
Reed's 20-yard touchdown pass to Cornelius Johnson was a positive response, but he finished 3-of-8 for 38 yards with an interception. Fagnano created considerable separation in the competition.
Losers: Bubble players lost in the crowd
Baltimore received strong performances from so many roster hopefuls that quiet nights became costly. Elijah Sarratt finished with one catch for 1 yard, while Xavier Guillory and Octavian Smith Jr. were held without a reception despite receiving three targets apiece.
One quiet game does not erase an entire camp, but Friday represented the final opportunity to influence the decision-makers in a live setting.
