Defense shines

So this past Sunday the ravens pulled out all the stops as both the defense and offense shined. The defense looked like the defense of old as they were blitzing and causing pressure. This was the most complete game by the team this year. They held the broncos to under 200 yards of total offense and kept star wide receiver Brandon Marshall subdued.

Joe Flacco and Ray Rice are becoming stars in this league. This offense is for real. The broncos were ranked number one in total defense up to this point and they got ran over by this ravens offense. I've been very impressed with the way flacco has been able stay calm under pressure. The broncos had a very strong pass rush and flacco avoided pressure with ease all day.

So this week we play the bengals again for a chance at redemption. The bengals beat us in Baltimore a few weeks ago. If the ravens can play like they did last Sunday I don't see any way the bengals can stop us. First place is on the line and I expect the ravens to step up to the challenge.

Ravens 27
Bengals 17
