The Baltimore Ravens averted a disaster for the second straight week with a furious rally in the final 30 minutes for a 30-27 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
For the second straight time at home against Arizona, it took a field goal as time expired for the Ravens to escape with a victory.
The Ravens offense sputtered once again in the first half and the special teams wasn’t much better, and the Ravens went into the locker room trailing 24-6.
Baltimore’s offense abandoned the running game and went primarily to a no-huddle, shotgun system in the second half, and Joe Flacco played much better.
Now the Ravens must turn around and get ready for the biggest game of the season to date: a showdown Sunday night in Heinz Field against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Baltimore Ravens once again ran into surprising trouble on the road in a humiliating, 12-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
At least when the Ravens lost to the Titans, they were coming off of a big win and playing a team that had Kenny Britt in one of the toughest stadiums for opposing teams in the entire league.
They didn’t have any of those excuses against the Jaguars, a team that kept the Ravens from recording a first down until six minutes remained in the third quarter.
The offense was atrocious in every way imagineable, and the players are going to be sick when they watch film of the game. ( Read More…)

The Ravens cranked things up near the end of the third quarter as Joe Flacco hit some deep throws down the field, but red zone struggles lead to field goals.
Baltimore started to wear out Houston and physically pound them into submission with their running game in the fourth quarter. ( Read More…)

The Baltimore Ravens physically manhandled the New York Jets in a 34-17 rout at M&T Bank Stadium.
The Ravens forced four turnovers, returning three of them for touchdowns in a wild game that featured a lot of defense.
In total, there were five defensive and special teams touchdowns between the two teams, who were more than a bit sloppy offensively.
Joe Flacco looked sharp in the first quarter but really struggled after that, almost letting New York back into the game with his poor decisions and throws. ( Read More…)
