11 scores Week 1: Minter's Ravens Debut Comes at Indianapolis
Read the full recap →The Baltimore Ravens open the Jesse Minter era at the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, September 13, the franchise's first game without John Harbaugh as head coach since 2007. Lamar Jackson has his fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons in Declan Doyle, three new interior linemen after Tyler Linderbaum left for Las Vegas, and Trey Hendrickson on the edge after the Maxx Crosby trade collapsed. Indianapolis gets Daniel Jones back from the Achilles tear that ended his 2025 season, though he did not play in the preseason, and Alec Pierce returned to practice in late August after ankle surgery.
Jones' first live snaps since December
Jones says he is 100 percent, but the Colts held him out of all three preseason games, so this is his first contact in nine months.
Baltimore's rebuilt interior line
Losing Linderbaum and starting first-round guard Vega Ioane next to two other new starters is the biggest unknown for an offense that otherwise returns Jackson's top weapons.
Zay Flowers is back at practice
Flowers returned this week after a lower-body injury in joint practices and is expected to play, keeping Jackson's top target available.
Pregame AI Prediction
How the prediction did
Predicted 24-20 (Ravens vs Colts), final was 41-23. Baltimore won 41-23 in Jesse Minter's debut, matching the projected winner by a much wider margin than the four-point projection.
Ravens Colts Jackson against a quarterback with no preseason reps
Jones coming off an Achilles with zero game action is a bigger question than anything on Baltimore's side.
Hendrickson changes Baltimore's pass rush
Adding last year's Bengals sack leader to a defense that already had Kyle Hamilton gives Minter a front that can pressure a rusty quarterback.
New coach, new coordinator, new line keep this close
Baltimore's own transition and an Indianapolis roster that started 8-2 last year are why this projects as a one-score game.
The lean is on Jackson and Baltimore's pass rush. Indianapolis' upside depends on how sharp Jones looks in his first game back.
