Ravens vs. Seahawks

This week the Ravens played the Seattle Seahawks, and didntg play so well. Last week the Ravens played on of the hardest teams in the NFL and win, but cant come out and play a really bad team and win. The Ravens came out trhinking this game would just be a push over because they beat a good team the week before. Just didnt come out ready to play i guess, so the ended up losing 22-17.

In the first half of the game the Ravens were down 19-7 so they had some work to do. When they came out after halftime, the Ravens kick returner fumbles the ball and the Seahawk got the ball back. Seahawks drove the ball dowen the feild after that and the Ravens held them to a feild goal, making the score 22-7. Ravens got the ball back and couldnt get it into the endzone, so Billy Dundiff kicked a 35 yard feild goal, to make it 22-10. The fourth quarter came around and Joe Flacco threw a 5 yard pass to Torrey Smith for a touchdown. THey made the best comeback they could but still fell short of the W.

Baltimore Ravens vs. Pittsburg Steelers

This week the Ravens had a tough game, the Steelers. Ravens beat the Steelers once this season already, so they were coming into this game thinking the Ravens couldnt beat the again. The first half was a slow start for both teams. Billy Cundiff and Shaun Suisham, had as combined of 5 feild goals in the first half. Billy made 3. Shaun made 2. Those feild goals put the Ravens up 9-6 going into half time.

The first touchdown of the game came in the 3rd quarter, Ray Rice had a 4 yard run up the middle, that put the ravens up 16-6. The Steelers scored a touchdown right away in the 4th quarter. Ravens couldnt put anything together and couldnt score, so the Steeler got the ball again and drove down the feild scored another touchdown. That put them up 20-16, only 1 minute left in the game. So, the Ravens got the ball back and just kept driving down the feild, with 16 seconds on the clock Joe Flacco throw a deep pass to Torrey Smith in the endzone, but he dropped it. There was only 8 seconds on the clock and Flacco throw a 20 yard pass to Ray Rice, they called thewre last time out, and when they came back from the time out, Flacco throw another ball to Smith for a 26 yard touchdown to win the game. 23-20.

Baltimore vs. Jacksonville

This week the Ravens play the Jaguars, they didnt score at al until the 4th quarter. At haftime the Jaguars were up 6-0, with Josh Scobee kicking two feild goals. The Ravens running back, Ray Rice fumbled the ball twice. He has not fumbled the ball in over 200 football games. Ravens didnt have first down in the first half of the game.
