Coming into the game on Sunday, everyone knew what kind of game this would be, the Ravens come in with a tough defense and a smash-mouth offensive style that involves a furious rushing attack. The Ravens are getting ready to make a playoff run that; they hope will take them to the Super Bowl and eventually a championship. With the passing attack hit or miss from week to week the Ravens are looking to find consistency with the run and the pass, as always Ray Rice is showing that he is a premier running back in the NFL but the question still remains will Joe Flacco rise to the occasion as a big time performer on the big stage. For the Colts it has been a season to forget as they are still looking for the first win of the season but of course they knew that it would not be easy on Sunday. With Dan Orlovsky taking over as starting quarterback the Colts offense last weekend put some much needed points on the board but in a losing effort. The Colts still have Pro Bowlers at many key positions but they just can’t seem to find the formula to mesh it all together. In order for the Colts to NOT be winless at the end of the season they must put together a solid effort on BOTH sides of the ball. Here is how the game broke down on Sunday:

1st quarter

The Ravens get on the board first as Joe Flacco finds T. Smith from 8-yards out for the touchdown and to cap off the quarter the Ravens B. Cundiff kicks a 36-yard field goal and the score at the end of the 1 st Colts 0, Ravens 10

2nd quarter

The punishing ground game takes over as Ray Rice scores from 6-yards out the Colts answer with a Vinatieri 22- yard field goal and the score at the half Colts 3, Ravens 17

The Colts finally find the end zone but it’s too little too late as Orlovsky hits J. Tamme from 13-yards out and the final score Colts 10, Ravens 24.
