Ravens build a 27-3 halftime lead behind a strong ground game and solid backups while Lamar Jackson sits out. Cooper Rush goes 5-for-5 for 59 yards guiding the first-half offense, and Rasheen Ali and D’Ernest Johnson punch in scores as Baltimore’s rushing attack shreds Washington’s defense early. Devin Leary adds a crisp, low-volume drive showing depth at QB behind Rush. Undrafted rookies Reuben Lowery and Trenton Simpson flood the stat sheet with tackles and pressure, signaling rich roster competition.

In the trenches and secondary, the Ravens’ depth shines with five-tackle performance from Keyon Martin and 7-tackle stop from Lowery as Simpson’s 1.5 sacks and QB hits keep Commanders honest in the pass rush. With Jackson out, Baltimore’s youngsters are making a case for notable roles this preseason, while Washington tries to steady the ship in the first half of a lopsided showdown.
