Baltimore Ravens at Atlanta Hawks
Ravens clip Falcons wings in overtime.
The Ravens came back from The Georgia Dome with the win with a thrilling overtime win over the Falcons. Victory came at a price though as team talisman Ray Lewis suffered an abdominal tear which is likely to keep him out for the next month.
For much of regulation it was like watching a different Ravens outfit as they struggled to move the ball on the ground, but moving at will through the air. Atlanta, led by back up QB Chris Redman deputising for the injured Matt Ryan, also fared well on the offensive side of the ball, with Michael Turner putting in a classic running back performance and racking up 148yds.
It was behind the running of Turner that Atlanta got the first score. Two ten yard runs set up first and goal before Redman found WR Michael Jenkins in the endzone. The Ravens tied the scores 4 minutes later as Flacco flighted the ball over the secondary to a streaking Dante' Stallworth on a 50yd score, the recievers 5th of the season.
Ladarius Webb enhanced his growing reputation, snagging the first of 2 interceptions, taking it 36yds to score his first TD of the year and silencing large parts of the partisan crowd. The home fans found their voice just before the half as Redman found veteran TE Gonzalez on a 12yd corner route to tie the scores at the half.
Thoughts of a high scoring shootout were dashed as a scoreless third quarter was dominated by the defence. Both sides came away with interceptions, Webb claiming his second of the day, while Flacco gifted Decoud the ball on the 2yd line trying to hit Boldin in the endzone.
Ray Rice again struggled to gain any momentum with the ball in hand and it was back up Donald Brown who took the ball up, capping off the drive with a 4yd sweep to the corner. The Falcons never gave up in spite of some intense D and Redman found Roddy White on the last play of regulation on a spectacular 72yd throw.
The Ravens won the toss and began a drive that belied there earlier rushing woes, moving the ball up the field through some gritty inside running from Rice and Brown. Mindful of the new OT rules the elected to keep banging the ball in, much to the dismay of the Offensive Co-ordinator who kept trying to send the kicking unit on. The decision paid off as Brown smashed through the the line to score from 8 yds and seal the win.
The win moves The Ravens to 7/2, where they sit atop the NFL with The Patriots, The Jets and divisional rivals The Steelers. They travel to the 4/5 Panthers next week.
