BALTIMORE (AP) — e and top-ranked defense Youth Mark Andrews Jersey , the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens played to a near draw.New Orleans didn’t come close to matching its average of 36 points, and the Baltimore defense finally wilted in the second half — thanks to the stellar play of Saints quarterback Drew Brees.At the end of New Orleans’ 24-23 victory, players from both teams had plenty reason to feel good about how they performed.Everyone except Justin Tucker.Tucker was 222 for 222 on conversion kicks until he shanked one to the right with 24 seconds remaining and overtime seemingly waiting for these two evenly matched teams.“I can’t tell you exactly what happened,” Tucker said, “but at the end of the day I feel like I cost us the game.”The missed kick gave Brees his first career victory over the Ravens, the only team he had not defeated. He joins Brett Favre and Peyton Manning as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to beat every club.Brees threw his 500th TD pass to help the Saints (5-1) extend their winning streak to five. Manning, Favre, Tom Brady and now Brees are the only members of the 500 club.Joe Flacco went 23 for 39 for 279 yards for Baltimore (4-3) and fashioned a wonderful late drive to put the Ravens just an extra point away from overtime.Some other things to know about the Saints-Ravens game:THE FOURTH ESTATECoach Sean Payton had the Saints go for it on fourth down four times during a 20-play game-opening drive, the lone unsuccessful attempt coming on the final try, when a fumble by Taysom Hill was recovered by the Ravens’ Michael Pierce at the Baltimore 6-yard line.New Orleans was 4 for 5 on fourth-down conversions for the day, something Brees said set the tone early for the kind of offensive game they wanted to play.“It gives you a lot of confidence Stitched Orlando Brown Jersey , you know?” Brees said. “Feeling like he’s putting the ball in our hands to make the play and he’s got plays he likes. That makes us feel like we’re playing to win, not just playing.”BROWN DELIVERSRavens receiver John Brown bounced back from two uneventful games with seven catches for 134 yards and the potential game-tying score with 24 seconds left.Brown signed with Baltimore as a free agent in March after playing four years in Arizona. He leads the Ravens in yards receiving and touchdown catches (4).“It was good just to be able to make the plays.The opportunity came to me,” Brown said. “You can take all those yards back, the touchdown back. I’d rather get the win.”A DIFFERENT LOOKBrees is a pure passer, so teams know what to expect from him. But Payton continues to integrate Taysom Hill, a second-year man out of Brigham Young, into the offense to give opponents a different look.So far, the ploy has paid dividends.“He made some big plays,” Payton said of Hill, who rushed three times for 12 yards. “He had a toss and he kept the ball. Look, he does so many different things. He’s a football player. When the game is over and it’s a grass field Youth Orlando Brown Jersey , his uniform is dirty.”JACKSON’S SIXRookie quarterback Lamar Jackson scored his first NFL touchdown and gave the Ravens the lead when he carried the ball into the end zone with four seconds remaining in the first half.“It was amazing. I’m in touchdown heaven, or football heaven, whatever you want to call it,” he said. “Man, I’m taking this ball right to the sideline and keeping it.”Jackson was the second of Baltimore’s two first round draft picks this year. The Heisman Trophy winner in 2016 has appeared in every game but had not contributed a scoring play.HOLD THAT LINEWith Josh LeRibeus subbing for Andrus Peat (head injury) at left guard and reserve tackle Jermon Bushrod inactive following the death of his infant daughter, the Saints knew they’d have to get a cohesive effort from the offensive line to prevent Baltimore’s barrage of blitzes.Well, Terrell Suggs‘ sack of Brees in the fourth quarter was the lone blemish on an otherwise spotless day of protection. And that came with LeRibeus missing time due to an ankle injury. Can Campbell become an impact player for Lamar Jackson?"The 2019 NFL Scouting Combine is complete and the draft boards will experience some shifts in the coming days. Before free agency has landed, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah has published his most recent 2019 NFL mock draft. With Pick 22, the Baltimore Ravens select wide receiver Parris Campbell from Ohio State.Parris CampbellPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesThis 6-foot receiver is graded as an instant starter by NFL.com. He’s incredibly fast (4.31u 40-yard dash) with a 40-inch vertical to boot. During his four years at Ohio State, Campbell continuously developed into a better football player. In his final season, Campbell caught 90 passes for 1063 yards and 12 touchdowns.I figure many Ravens fans would love this selection. He’s a talented receiver with a solid body of work and a skill-set that pairs well with Jackson. A dynamic receiver with incredible speed and route-running that can create separation may be the best option for Jackson Stitched Lamar Jackson Jersey , rather than a big, strong receiver like D.K. Metcalf, who will out-muscle opponents rather than break free from. Either way, Metcalf wouldn’t be an option as he is taken in this mock draft by the Buffalo Bills at ninth overall.I don’t expect all fans to enjoy this selection as multiple big names surround the Ravens in this pick range. Oklahoma guard Cody Ford is still on the board, who is taken by the Oakland Raiders only two picks later. Jeremiah sees this as a good place because the Raiders may want to cut former Raven Kelechi Osemele. The next two picks following Ford are also players of interest. Josh Jacobs, the Alabama running back and Arizona State wide receiver N’Keal Harry are still on the board in this scenario.It’s good to see a mock draft board shake out well for Baltimore. There are multiple Day 1 contributors worth taking at 22 and in this scenario, four of them to decide between.
