Misery Index · Euphoric
Ravens fans letting themselves enjoy a sloppy 41-23 win, with Minter's defense already earning cult status.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
R.Smith's opening-drive pick of D.Jones set the tone, and L.Jackson spent the rest of the afternoon making Indianapolis pay — the 49-yard strike to Z.Flowers, then the 54-yard middle-of-the-field touchdown to the same guy in the second quarter. Sloppy stretches kept it from being a coronation, but a 41-23 finish with a 10-point fourth quarter is the kind of Week 1 this fanbase forgot was allowed. The real test comes when the opponent has a pulse.

“He’s a nasty QB and the only time #RavensFlock and #BillsMafia should have beef is when we’re playing.”

“Lamar looks hot as always. Still has his scramble and throwing ability. He is still Houdini.”
