 While the Ravens offense had a very good start to the 2006 season, the defense also showed much promise, as they forced Simms into throwing three interceptions and limited star RB Carnell "Cadillac" Williams to just 22 yards on eight carries.For his efforts in this game Ray Lewis was named NFL Defensive Player of the Week after recording 10 tackles and a sack.With the win, the Ravens were 1–0 and 1–0 against NFC Opponents.
