Baltimore Ravens 24, Indianapolis Colts 16 | M&T Bank Stadium | August 7, 2025
Anthony Richardson made it two drives. David Ojabo dropped him for an 8-yard loss on the second play of Indianapolis’s second possession, dislocating Richardson’s right pinkie in the process, and Indianapolis ran three quarterbacks through a 24-16 preseason loss they never led after the first quarter. The Ravens won it with their legs and their rookies: 177 rushing yards, an 87-yard punt return touchdown from LaJohntay Wester, and a 69-yard kickoff return from Rasheen Ali that set up his own score, all before halftime.

Wester’s 87-yard return in the first quarter was the play of the game. He told Mitchell during practice that week he was going to return one for a touchdown, and on Wednesday called his father to say he felt one coming. NFL Next Gen Stats tracked him at 115.4 total yards traveled from snap to score. PFF graded him 84.1 on the game, the highest mark for any rookie wide receiver in preseason Week 1 and 12th-highest among all receivers graded.

Indianapolis out-gained Baltimore in total yards (366 to 226), held possession for 32 minutes, and still lost by eight. The Colts scored three field goals and one rushing touchdown. Richardson’s pinkie was reset on the sideline and coach Shane Steichen called him day-to-day after the game. Baltimore’s passing game was effectively non-functional (49 yards, two interceptions, a 3.9 passer rating) and it still won because Wester, Mitchell, and Ali gave the Ravens 17 points before Jones threw his second pass of the game. The two teams were scheduled to meet again in Week 1 of the regular season at some point in the 2025 campaign; the preseason result told you more about depth charts than anything else, which is what August football is supposed to do.
