16. Baltimore Ravens (18)

Who would have thought Mike Wallace would end up playing a key role on opening weekend for the Baltimore Ravens during their win over the Bills?

This matchup turned out to be one of the best defensive battles of Week 1 as the Ravens held on for the 13-7 win, but it was the key 66-yard touchdown catch by Wallace that had Baltimore fans fired up. Wallace turned out to be a major bust during his only season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2015, but the Ravens hope he turns out to be a reliable weapon in the passing game for Joe Flacco.

Even if this was only one game, this game could turn out to be the perfect confidence boost for Wallace moving forward. The Ravens know a thing or two when it comes to wide receivers finding ways to still make an impact–just look at Steve Smith.
