Watch: Ravens force turnovers on first two defensive possessions of 2021 preseason

The Baltimore Ravens got off to a fast start against the New Orleans Saints in their first preseason game of 2021. After starting the game on defense, the team gave up a few chunk plays to wide receiver Marquez Callaway, but deep in their own red zone, the unit stepped up and produced a turnover.

Inside linebacker Malik Harrison and defensive tackle Broderick Washington combined to force the fumble, while safety DeShon Elliott recovered it. Then, on Baltimore’s next defensive series, they turned the Saints over again, this time with an interception.

Safety Geno Stone got in on the action, diving for a bad pass by New Orleans quarterback Taysom Hill. The Ravens will look to continue their strong defensive start over the course of the rest of the game.
