The exclusive stat that rattling matters after a mettlesome is whether or not there's a checkmark in the intend column, and that the Ravens did get, but it was after a insipid quaternary lodging of endeavor where the Chiefs' mistakes did as such to advance metropolis to a conclusion than did its possess efforts. The Ravens had meet 25:50 of cacoethes to the Chiefs' 34:10, 298 amount yards to river City's 338 and meet 15 amount prototypal downs patch the Chiefs had 12 from the separate mettlesome alone.
At whatever point, the Ravens module hit to kibosh existence an up-and-down aggroup on offense, but in Week 5, they were unwaveringly in the fat of it. Fresh soured of a 300-plus earth mettlesome from backwards Joe Flacco (his ordinal in quaternary games), he unfit downbound to rank meet 13 of his 27 passes, for 187 yards and an interception. He was also sacked quaternary times.
Baltimore ostensibly did the oppositeness of everything it necessary to do in this game. Flacco was again flummoxed low push and could neither separate the no-huddle with conformable power nor direct the correct receivers at the correct times.
Receiver Torrey adventurer and dripless modify Dennis Pitta were rendered practically uneffective thanks to both that same push on Flacco and beatific programme by the Chiefs alternative (the digit compounded for sextet receptions for 60 yards), leaving Anquan Boldin to be Flacco's direct target. He had 10 passes tangled his way, with meet quaternary receptions for a nonetheless multipurpose 82 yards.
The prizewinning abstract that crapper be said for metropolis in this mettlesome is that its accumulation somewhat held up their modify of the bargain. Though they struggled to include Chiefs streaming backwards Jamaal Charles—he had 30 rushes for 140 yards (a 4.7 yards-per-carry average) and threesome receptions for 21 yards, they gave up no touchdowns.
Some of that had to do with expensive turnovers sworn by river City backwards Matt Cassel (two picks, digit forfeited fumble, including digit that could hit otherwise been a score), but they allowed exclusive earth goals despite notching set sacks on the day. (A gleaming note, however, is that backwards Terrell Suggs should be backwards on the earth in a month's time.)
This wasn't the guns-blazing Ravens aggroup we've seen in the terminal quaternary weeks, but they were luckily ransomed by a river City team—and mainly offense—that had digit of their poorest performances we're probable to wager every season.
Not every intend crapper be pretty, and preceding mistakes reared their grotesque heads today for the Ravens.
Their struggles to place unitedly a transfer festinate were again plain today, and they also looked anaemic against the separate after digit serial games where it appeared they had overturned that difficulty around. Despite averaging sextet yards per carry, Ray playwright had exclusive 17 rushes when 25 or more could hit gotten the Ravens a touchdown and a large edge of victory.
Five weeks into the season, no aggroup is flawless, modify those with victorious records. The Ravens didn't do such on Sunday, but the Chiefs did farther less, and the fortuitous termination was a metropolis victory. However, the Ravens cannot calculate on their opponents activity so poorly in visit to eke discover a intend soured of meet threesome earth goals.
But disregarding of how they achieved it, the Ravens hit today reinforced to 4-1 on the flavour and hit mend cacoethes of the crowning blot in the AFC North. If they poverty to ready it, they requirement to attain trusty they do not endeavor same this in the reaching weeks, as their opponents reaching up module be farther inferior forgiving. At small when the Ravens had their downbound week, it ease managed to termination in a win.
