With Big Ben and Troy Polamalu out for the Steelers, the Ravens couldn't take it lightly and didn't. The Steelers had to start 3rd string quarterback Dennis Dixon who had only thrown one pass in regular season. He reminded me of another talented QB that the Steelers had just a few years ago "SLASH" Cordell Stewart. I am sure the Ravens haven't seen the last of this young rising star.
Baltimore run game was SUPERB they needs to stick to the ground attack using Leron McClain in some more packages period. McClain is a beast when it comes time to run the ball up the middle as he gains 5+ yards per carry. Ray Rice had another super performance and made a key 4th down catch to move the chains. Willis, well lets just not talk about him now because he looks like he dances side to side to often when its inside the 5 yard line.
Mighty Joe Flacco had his momentsand made some nice passes to his receivers. The offensive line on the other hand did not protect Mighty Joe all that well. The offensive line did block very well for the running backs creating huge holes for Rice and McClain to run through. It also looks like we have found that replacement kicker in Cundiff. Hopefully he keeps up the good work and puts the ball through the uprights on every attempt.
Lets see how the Ravens fair against the Packers.....
