Ravens, Week 9
Ah, they beat Bengals. They started real well, then played enough defense and got enough offense to hold them off. A solid, in division win that puts the Ravens in the dirver’s seat for the division. The offense is still not high octane, but it definitely looked competent. No turnovers, took advantage of some turnovers, had a few longish scoring drives that ate a lot of time off the clock. If the O continues improving at any reasonable rate, and they avoid the dreaded injuries, they should be division champs.
Oh, and BTW, they have the EASIEST schedule left in the league. But they earned it, because the last 5 weeks they playes”
- Chargers (6-2) W
- @Broncos (6-2) L
- Panthers (4-4) L
- @New Orleans (6-2) W
- Bengals (4-4) W
So, they put 3 of the 14 losses on those teams, while losing to a very good Denver team, and, who know, the possible NFC Champion Panthers, while also beating a very good Chargers team and a surprisingly good Saints team (and a surprisingly mediocre Bengals team).
