Derrick Henry was a crucial part of the ground game, racking up 96 rushing yards and keeping the Saints' defense on its heels. Tyler Shough of the Saints put up solid numbers with 248 passing yards, highlighted by Chris Olave's impressive 100 receiving yards, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Ravens' offensive firepower.
