The Baltimore Ravens kick off the first of three exhibition preseason games on Saturday as they host the defending NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles at M&T Bank stadium.

There has been a ton of hype surrounding the new-look Todd Monken offense, especially with the influx of new talent at the wideout position paired with the newly re-signed Lamar Jackson under center.

The offense as a whole is expected to be one of the more potent in not just the AFC, but the entire league. And it showed early in the second quarter on Saturday with the first touchdown of the preseason.

But the big Justin Tucker excitement came on the final play of the first half, as the team lined up for a 60-yard field goal attempt.

For a fanbase used to Tucker miracles, it was no surprise, but the crowd on-hand cheered their approval nonetheless. But Tucker wasn't the only  Raven showing of on Saturday.

Quarterback Josh Johnson led the offense on a five-play, 64-yard touchdown drive that ended with a seven-yard pass to receiver Devin Duvernay.

It's the only ball Duvernay has caught all afternoon on the only target. Johnson has completed three passes on six attempts for nine yards. Baltimore and Monken have been giving the Eagles' defense a strong dose of the ground game, as Justice Hill has 48 yards on three carries, and Gus Edwards has 15 yards on three carries.

Rookie wideout Zay Flowers also ran one time for a gain of one yard. The Ravens currently trail Philadelphia 13-10 after the first half.
