The Ravens' 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders left a lot of doubters, but the film shows Baltimore still has a very good team even if an 0-2 record doesn't reflect it.

Here's what stood out:

What got Derrick Henry rolling.

Derrick Henry had five rushing yards in the first half and 79 in the second half.

So, what changed? Primarily, Henry and the Ravens found running room to the outside.

Henry took nine outside runs for 62 yards, an average of 6.9 yards per carry. He had eight runs inside for 19 yards, an average of 2.4 yards per carry.

The Ravens have long said that Henry does the most damage when he gets on a track and can build up a head of steam. The question is how well Baltimore can block on the edges.

Ronnie Stanley's improved health helps significantly and one of rookie Roger Rosengarten's best traits is his mobility. Tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely have shown to be good perimeter blockers, and Charlie Kolar is working to improve from his in-line position. Fullback Patrick Ricard is, once again, often the spearhead.

Let's focus on Henry's 29-yard rumble that featured his first stiff-arm as a Raven. At 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, Zay Flowers has his work cut out for him as a blocker, but he got enough of Raiders safety Marcus Epps. That allowed Ricard to hone in on and kick out the cornerback.

Henry did the rest. His acceleration made linebacker Divine Deablo take a bad angle. Henry then stepped through Epps' diving arm tackle and tossed defensive end Charles Snowden with a stiff arm. Per Next Gen Stats, Henry was expected to pick up seven yards at the snap. He got 29, reaching a max speed of 18.51 mph.

As the Ravens continue to work on improving the interior blocking, hitting on outside runs is going to be critical to their run game success. The ingredients are there for better running inside, but Baltimore was very hit-or-miss in that regard versus the Raiders.

Ravens' interior blocking must improve, but good signs from Roger Rosengarten.

The Ravens called Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby a "game-wreaker" and he lived up to the billing.

Right guard Daniel Faalele had a tough time against Crosby and others. Faalele was beaten too many times on his edges, and he picked up a looping rush from Crosby too late on the disastrous 9-yard sack by Crosby near the end of the fourth quarter when the Ravens were trying to mount a game-winning drive.

Per Next Gen Stats, Faalele has surrendered a team-high 10 quarterback pressures (11.2% of his pass blocking snaps). Left guard Andrew Vorhees has given up the next most with seven pressures and nobody else has more than four.

There are some good blocks in there for Faalele too, but as Head Coach John Harbaugh said Monday, it’s too “randomly inconsistent.”

The good news is that Rosengarten had a strong rebound in his second game as a pro. Rosengarten matched up well with Crosby on several one-on-one blocks.

Ravens' defensive front was dominant.

There were a lot of questions this offseason about the Ravens' pass rush, but through two weeks, Baltimore's seven sacks are tied for the third most in the league.

Odafe Oweh recorded his first career multi-sack game and came a whisker away from a hat trick. Kyle Van Noy, playing just 10 days after suffering a fractured orbital bone, logged two sacks.

A look at the film shows Oweh's development with his technique, as the work he's done with Pass Rush Coach Chuck Smith and others this offseason has paid off.

Van Noy had a career-high nine sacks last season at 32 years old and is showing that wasn't a flash in the pan, as he's delivering with a role focused on getting after quarterbacks.

It's not just Oweh and Van Noy. Nnamdi Madubuike is back at it again this year with a new name, but he has a powerful complement in Travis Jones, who is shocking guards with a heavy club move.

Ravens' secondary has to tip its cap.

The Ravens gave up 30 completions against Gardner Minshew II. Through the first two games, opposing quarterbacks have a 75.8% completion rate against Baltimore – the third-highest mark in the league.

That's surprising how much talent the Ravens have in their secondary. A look at the film shows that while Baltimore still can use some improvement, sometimes you have to tip your cap.

The Raiders' top playmakers of Davante Adams and rookie Brock Bowers made some spectacular catches, and Minshew delivered great throws in clutch moments.
