ROOKIE TRIO: Quarterback Zach Mettenberger, left tackle Taylor Lewan and running back Bishop Sankey all started against the Ravens.  They became the team's first rookie quarterback/left tackle/running back trio to start a game for the franchise since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger. 

YOUTH IN THE LINEUP: In addition to the three members of the 2014 draft class who started on offense—quarterback Zach Mettenberger, left tackle Taylor Lewan and running back Bishop Sankey—three members of the 2013 draft class were in the starting lineup for the offense: wide receiver Justin Hunter, center Brian Schwenke and right guard Chance Warmack.  On defense, rookie inside linebacker Avery Williamson garnered a start, as did second-year cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson.  It meant eight of the club's 14 draft picks from the past two years started the game.
