The Ravens opened the game in a no-huddle offense and Joe Flacco just drove them 81 yards for a touchdown -- teaming with Derrick Mason on a terrific 20-yard TD pass and catch with 8:01 left in the first quarter.

The bad news: Mason landed very hard on his upper back and was down for a long time in the end zone. He left the field under his own power, but it looks like he may have injured the left shoulder that was repaired during the offseason. It would be a tremendous loss if he cannot continue, but don't count him out. He played with that painful shoulder separation all last season.
