The yardage totals were close, but the final was anything but as Baltimore rolled past Washington 30-3 in Landover, Md. on Saturday to complete its NFL preseason a perfect 3-0.
Rasheen Ali and D'Ernest Johnson rumbled for first-half rushing scores, rookie Tyler Loop drilled three long field goals, including a 61-yarder in the fourth quarter, and Keyon Martin returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown late in the second that gave Baltimore a 24-3 lead.
With Jayden Daniels sitting this one out, Washington's backup quarterbacks failed to distinguish themselves, as Sam Hartman and Josh Johnson combined to throw three interceptions and lead one scoring drive capped off by a Matt Gay 47-yard field goal.
The Ravens open their season with the Bills in Buffalo Sept. 7, while the Commanders (0-3 in the preseason) host the New York Giants that same day.
Colts 41, Bengals 14
Laquon Treadwell paced Indianapolis with 116 yards receiving as Indianapolis (1-2) ran away from host Cincinnati.
Treadwell grabbed six catches on six targets, including a 59-yard scoring play from Riley Leonard at the end of the second quarter.
Leonard, a rookie out of Notre Dame, completed 15 of 20 passes for 189 yards, while Daniel Scott returned an interception for a 35-yard touchdown to hand the Colts an early 10-0 lead. Ulysses Bentley IV had two scoring runs.
The Bengals (1-2) had little to smile about with just 228 total yards and a pair of turnovers. Desmond Ridder and Quali Conley scored on the ground.
Browns 19, Rams 17
Recently tabbed for the starting role, quarterback Joe Flacco completed 9 of 10 passes for 71 yards and a 15-yard touchdown to Harold Fannin Jr. as host Cleveland defeated Los Angeles.
Dillon Gabriel threw for 129 yards in relief and connected with Gage Larvadain for a 3-yard score, while Andre Szmyt hit a 37-yard field goal at the gun to help the Browns finish the preseason 3-0.
The Rams (2-1) had taken their first lead of the game with 2:03 to play on a 2-yard Jordan Waters run. That capped a 77-yard drive directed by second-year player Dresser Winn.
Texans 26, Lions 7
Young passers Graham Mertz and Kedon Slovis combined for 256 yards through the air and a touchdown apiece as Houston handled host Detroit (1-3).
A Woody Marks 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave the Texans (2-1) a 10-7 lead. After short scoring passes by Mertz and Slovis, Ka'imi Fairbairn hit a 48-yard field goal to complete the scoring.
Detroit's touchdown came via a Kyle Allen 33-yard pass to Isaac TeSlaa in the first quarter.
Broncos 28, Saints 19
In head coach Sean Payton's return to New Orleans, Denver cruised past the Saints.
Bo Nix (110 yards) helped lead the Broncos (3-0) to a 16-9 halftime advantage, connecting with Courtland Sutton on a 19-yard touchdown pass. Will Lutz, also celebrating his return to his former stomping grounds, went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts.
Blake Grupe responded with four makes for New Orleans (0-2-1). Tyler Shough may have gained the advantage in the quarterback competition, getting more playing time than Spencer Rattler and scoring on an 11-yard run in the fourth quarter.
