Not a lot of action was seen by former Brigham Young Cougars in week 1 of the NFL season, but those who did play made their time count. Capping off the weekend was Dennis Pitta’s spectacular performance on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Dennis Pitta, Baltimore Raves, Tight End
Pitta shined on Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals as his Ravens won 44-13. Pitta led Baltimore in receiving on the night with five receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown.
Pitta’s touchdown came at a critical moment in the game for the Ravens as Cincinnati was threatening to come back after Baltimore opened a 17-3 lead. The Bengals made it 17-13 early in the third quarter before Pitta’s 10-yard touchdown catch from Joe Flacco gave the Ravens a security blanket, and they never looked back.
Pitta also led the team in passes thrown to him in the game with nine. The next most was five, which makes it seem that Pitta will be a primary target in Baltimore ’s offensive scheme this year.
