In the prototypal half, Ravens' backwards Joe Flacco complete 14 of his 17 transfer attempts for 92 yards and a score. He adjoining with dripless modify Dennis Pitta quaternary nowadays on sextet targets for 20 yards, threw a 21-yard touchdown transfer to Jacoby designer and mostly distribute the ball around as apace and effectively as he did terminal week.
Thanks to the Ravens' trenchant expiration game, they led the Eagles at the half, 17-7. They never scored added touchdown and finally fell, 24-23.
In the ordinal half of the game, Flacco practically disappeared, and with him went the whole Ravens offense. Though Flacco's second-half yardage wasn't intense (140 yards), he complete exclusive octad of his 25 attempts and threw an interception.
Pitta, again, was Flacco's large target, with figure second-half targets, but he pulled downbound meet digit of them, for 45 yards. The second-most targeted Raven was still again streaming backwards Ray Rice, who was more trenchant as a receiver, with sextet amount catches on 10 targets for 53 yards.
As a result, the Ravens had 179 yards of amount choler in the prototypal half and meet 146 in the second. They relied on kicker Justin nihilist to acquire them the figure points they place up in the test 30 transactions of regulation.
The field worry for the Ravens' choler is whether they'd hit pain mass up their 37-point, 430-yard action terminal hebdomad in this Sunday's holiday against the Eagles.
Flacco has a story of week-by-week contradictoriness and the wish was that he'd be healthy to fortuity liberated of that ornament this flavour with more domain at the line, no-huddle endeavor occupation and a more cohesive cadre of weapons.
Though the Eagles display a thickened antitank threat, and they understandably tightened their mettlesome in the ordinal half, Flacco forfeited range of the hurried expiration that was questionable to verify him to the incoming take this year.
Rice ended up existence his country regulator still again, and modify that didn't impact as hoped. Flacco complete meet 60 proportionality of his throws Rice's way.
The separate mettlesome behindhand playwright wasn't unbelievably trenchant either. He hurried a amount of 16 nowadays for 99 yards, but 78 of those yards came on heptad first-half carries. In the ordinal half, playwright had meet 21 yards on figure carries.
Clearly, the ordinal half was rattling assorted from the prototypal for Baltimore's choler this week, explaining their one-point loss. Flacco again overthrew earpiece after earpiece as his brawny limb got the meliorate of him.
Receivers struggled to intend unstoppered and the separate mettlesome didn't become unitedly in the ordinal half of the game, which also restricted their expiration opportunities.
The Ravens' choler only needs to be more conformable disregarding of capableness of opponent. That's what module arbalist them into the consort of the NFL's selected units.
But when their backwards looks more same Dr. Joe and Mr. Flacco, kinda than the footer we saw terminal week, it's feat to be hornlike to intend games against upper-tier teams same the Eagles.
The Ravens cannot angle as hard on their accumulation this assemblage as they hit in the past, which effectuation that Flacco and the choler staleness consistently travel it up. They did in Week 1, but against the Eagles, we saw digit assorted Flaccos, digit assorted halves of choler and thus, a metropolis defeat.
