New Orleans Siants at Baltimore Ravens


Ravens go down in Overtime

The Baltimore Ravens lost out in overtime as Pierre Thomas scorched an AWOL defence on an 80yd touchdown run, as the New Orleans Saints claimed a 23 - 16 win in the snow.

Harbaugh called it 'A bad read' as the Ravens came with the blitz as The Saints looked to convert 3rd and 7 after both sides had punted away in the extra period.

The Saints offensive unit seemed to cope with the conditions better than the home town Ravens as they took the lead as Drew Brees found Marques Colston unmarked for a 5yd TD in the 1st quarter. The Ravens were much more methodical in their approach as they looked to gain the upperhand on the ground, taking 12 minutes and 17 plays to go 85yds up the field. Ray Rice recorded TD number 12 for the season as he dove in from 6yds out to end the scoring in the first half.

After the break, Lynell Hamilton broke through the Ravens line to score his first TD of the year as The Saints retook the lead. Both sides struggled to move the ball, exchanging FG's to leave the score at 17 - 10 with ten minutes to play.

Baltimore twiced spurned the chance to take the FG on 4th down, finally converting when Todd Heap caught a goal line slant from 1yd to tie the scores and send the game to overtime.

Baltimore still have their playoff destiny in their own hands as they slip to 3rd place in the AFC. They head to the 3/11 Browns next week, before facing off against the 9/5 Bengals in the final game off the season, in a match that will probably decide both teams playoff future. Pittsburgh head the AFC (and NFL) on 12/2.
