EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - The Baltimore Ravens spoiled the
New York Jets' opener in their new home with a 10-9 victory.
Wide receiver Anquan Boldin, Baltimore's key offseason
acquisition, toyed with New York's vaunted secondary for 110 yards
on seven catches Monday night. The Ravens' defense outplayed its
more ballyhooed rival by allowing only 176 yards and nearly
blanking the Jets on third downs; New York was 1 for 11 in that
department.
The $1.6 billion New Meadowlands Stadium occasionally rocked
with chants of J-E-T-S, but the Ravens silenced them and curbed the
enthusiasm created by several additions to New York's roster, plus
the team's no-holds-barred preseason TV series.
