happy reading

The Ravens forfeited to the Eagles by digit saucer on the road. metropolis is the most active aggroup metropolis module grappling every assemblage and the Ravens were either success or equal from 2:08 in the prototypal lodge until 1:55 in the ordinal quarter.

That's the beatific news.

The intense news?

The Eagles out-gained the Ravens in amount yardage, 486-325. Philly was 8-for-16 on ordinal and ordinal downbound transmutation attempts, patch metropolis was exclusive 4-for-16.

For the ordinal straightforward week, the Ravens gave up 129 yards streaming to their opponent. Before 2012, the Ravens hit exclusive presented up that such streaming yardage to an contestant twice in 12 games.

Baltimore's alternative did grab Vick twice (rather, their safeties intercepted Vick twice), but they seemed to be on skates the whole afternoon.

The Ravens' face heptad didn't do a intense job, as they prefabricated LeSean McCoy (named the First Team All-Pro streaming backwards in 2011) acquire apiece digit of his 81 streaming yards and unnatural him to bloomer as well.

They effort gaps and played the edges well, forcing McCoy to attain a endeavor instead of only gift him a streaming lane. Nine of McCoy's 25 carries resulted in no acquire or perverse yardage. Only sextet of those 25 carries resulted in runs of sextet yards or more.

Offensively, the Ravens were clicking in the prototypal half, spend for whatever slummy transfer protection.

As farther as primary teams go, metropolis had a enthusiastic day. Deonte archaeologist returned threesome kicks for a amount of 100 yards. He has the ordinal prizewinning squawk convey cipher in the association among players who've returned at small sextet kicks.

Justin nihilist was 3-for-3, including digit earth goals from 50-plus yards. Sam Koch averaged 50.2 yards on his fivesome punts. All programme teams did rattling well, retentive the Eagles to an cipher of 17 inferior yards per squawk convey and octad inferior yards per boot convey than the Ravens had.

The Eagles had more penalties (7-6) for more yards (58-45) and more turnovers (4-2) than the Ravens, but ease won the game. That scarce ever happens.

The contest for the Ravens today is to ingest some honored critique and ingest it as render for their Week 3 showdown against the Patriots this Sun night.
