Baltimore loses nail biter
The Ravens spoil the Cowboys home cooking 33 to 24
Quite frankly this game looked like it was set up to be more of a defensive match up. But the Ravens gave 265 reasons why it wasn't! Wow this is the potential for the Baltimore backfield.

All told a whopping 388 yards pasted on the revived Dallas “D”. The best part is you can win in the playoffs with this formula. Especially when you have a rookie QB. Flacco did not have his best game but he hung in there. McClain and McGahee controlled the tempo of the game behind a confident Baltimore O-line.
The offense got a little sloppy with the ball but they only tossed it up to Dallas once. The Ravens D snatched 2 Romo throws however. Ed Reed continues to be everywhere. Dallas did appear to throw with some success but the numbers tell you otherwise. Romo went 24 for 45 and 252 yards with 2 TD's and the 2 INT's. Now the touchdowns are a good thing of course but the 5.6 yards per attempt is not very good. 252 yards of passing is not that impressive if you need 45 attempts to to do it.
Hey if you are a Ravens fan you are feeling great about the 10 and 5 Baltimore Ravens. And you close out the campaign at home with a struggling Jacksonville. They win, they get in!
