Joe Flacco played into the third quarter and passed for 229 yards and two touchdowns on 21-of-34 efficiency, pacing the Ravens over the Giants, 24-10, in preseason action.
Flacco was also picked off once and threw TDs to Anquan Boldin and Todd Heap in the second quarter to build an early lead following Billy Cundiff's 25-yard field goal midway through the opening frame.
Heap caught six passes for 69 yards, while Boldin hauled in four for 52 for Baltimore, winners of seven consecutive warm-up games over the past two years.
There was some bad news for the Ravens, however, as wide receiver Donte' Stallworth broke his foot during the game and will miss up to eight weeks.
Eli Manning, who missed a game as a result of having stitches in his forehead, completed just 9-of-18 passes for 63 yards with an interception, leading the Giants' first-team offense to just three points -- Lawrence Tynes' 42-yard field goal at the halftime buzzer.
Brandon Jacobs had a team-high 41 yards on six carries in defeat.
Baltimore third-stringer Troy Smith threw an 11-yard TD to Marcus Smith in the fourth quarter, and Rhett Bomar finally got New York into the end zone with a one-yard toss to Victor Cruz under the two-minute warning.
