Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Baltimore Ravens



Ruthless Ravens sink Buccaneers

Baltimore recorded their biggest win of the season against a sorry looking Tampa outfit at cold and windswept M T Bank Stadium. The Bucs had no answer to the Baltimore offence as Ray Rice pounded the line on his way to another 100yd game.

Baltimore dominated all aspects of the stat sheet. Coach Harbaugh pointed to the time of possesion as the key area as Flacco controlled the offence in a series of long drives. After recieving the opening kick off, the Ravens took 15 plays and 10 minutes to move the ball into the red zone, only to be halted by some sturdy goal line defence. S Graham opened the scoring with a 23yd FG.

After both sides went 3 and out, Tampa finally looked to gain some momentum, claiming consecutive first downs on the back of some powerful running by Williams. Their progress was halted when Cory Redding, deputising at LE for the injured Price, brought down Tampa QB Josh Freeman for the first of his three sacks. Taveres Gooden and Walt Harris also found their way through the Tampa offensive line to put Freeman on his back.

HB Donald Brown took his season TD tally to five on the following drive as he dove over from 10yds and then went on to claim number 6 early in the fourth. Ray Rice wasn't going to let his young back up claim all the glory after his own hard work and he finally got on the score sheet as time wound down after Tampa failed to convert fourth down.

Sterner tests await the Ravens in the coming weeks as they face up to their main rivals The Pittsburgh Steelers next week. The Steelers are tied with The Ravens on 9/2 as both teams try to wrest control of the the AFC North. After the Ravens narrow victory in Pittsburgh, The Steelers are sure to be fired up for this one as they look to extend their winning streak to 4.
