A pair of NFL veterans put the the Ravens up early, as QB Ryan Mallett threw an early touchdown pass and RB Bobby Rainey followed it up in the second quarter with a rushing touchdown.

However, QB Chase Daniel would throw a touchdown pass to TE Josh Hill and the Saints would go on to add two field goals to make the game competitive. However, the Ravens would hold on to prevail 14-13. With that, we give you our PFF exclusive takeaways from the contest for each team.
