Turnovers the key as New England beat The Ravens

Baltimore coach John Harbaugh was left ruing his sides ability to keep the ball as two key turnovers proved to be the difference af Foxboro.

With Baltimore leading 14 13 at the half, Linebacker Banta-Cain picked off a Flacco pass in the 3rd quarter taking it to the house on a 55yd return. Worse was to follow after the Ravens got themselves back into the game when Flacco connected with veteran Tight End Todd Heap on a 21yd pass to bring the score back to Bal 22 NE 25. Neither team could sustain a drive in the 4th. Baltimore managed to force a 3 and out with just under 2 minutes remaining. However, rather than driving for the win, Webb fumbled the return after the hit from McCourty. Maroney sealed the win 3 plays later on a 1yd run.

Baltimore did manage a final score when Flacco hit Mason on a 23yd pass. Earlier in the game R Rice converted 2 goalline runs while Brady hit Price from 5yds in the final minute of the first half.

Coach Harbaugh backed his errant QB. "Joe's a winner, we know he'll bounce back from this. Even though the game was gone he led us up the field on the final drive and got in for the score. That show how much character this kid has got."

Baltimore face the 1/4 Bills at home next week.
