Some players (MLB Gerald Hayes) get knocked out for the game on their first drive as a Bronco, but FS Tanard Jackson decided to step in front of a Joe Flacco out route and take it back for a TD.

Not a bad way to make the front office believe that you were worth trading the franchise WR for.

Two other Broncos had INTs, (DJ Williams even took his back for a TD), the pass rush brought a lot of heat on Flacco, and the Ravens were held to 9 points on the day.

The Shagg Makino-less offense had trouble running the ball against Baltimore's beefy front seven, but found great success throwing the ball downfield against the Ed Reed-less secondary, to the tune of 290 yards on only 12 attempts and 9 completions from first-time starter Josh Freeman.

All in all, the Broncos came off the bye with their new acquisitions making big impressions and their whole team playing the best game of the still-young season.

The Broncos will need a repeat performance next week against the division-leading Steelers.

Great game weeman. This was a classic case of you making big plays early and destroying my entire gameplan. I thought I was going to be able to run on you, but by making a pick 6 on my first and third (i think) throws and connecting on a long bomb early, you nullified the threat completely.

You also had the best stick skills of anyone I've seen thus far, making that INT on the first one, where it would have been an easy completion with the DB AI.

With a tough schedule ahead, I've resigned myself to thinking about this as a rebuilding year. Since making the playoffs (my primary goal) is unlikely, I'll pursue one just below that and true to my Raven roots: spoiling the fun for the Steelers. Weeks 12 and 16 should be fun.

Once again Pappy good game. I was feeling good about 10 minutes into the game and then you hitstuck me back to reality. Seriously, he unleashed a hitstick on me with nearly every tackle in the game. I bet we had 4-5 fumbles luckily we only lost 2 of them. Throw in a Alex Smith interception when Hill was out for a few plays and you have a 3 turnover day. The one fumble went to the house. My team has a lot of work to do as we were knocked back into reality 38-13. I think our team will be okay in the long run, we just have to put four quarters of football together. Warning for anyone that plays Indy this season..... stay away from Bob Sanders he is just as deadly as IRL. Thanks for the tip on the cover button Pappy, never really needed it before but if everyone in this league hits like you it will become my friend. I think I am for sure going to start getting more practice games in, anyone in the league hit me up if you want to run some games.
