Sunday Football Afterword: Ravens vs Browns

Joe Flacco's wife Dana gave birth shortly before the Ravens
and Browns kicked off on Sunday.

Joe Flacco had a lot on his mind yesterday. His son was born an hour before kickoff and his team struggled for most of the game. Most of the game was missed opportunities and low scoring as neither team could seem to find the end zone until the third quarter, when Bernard Pierce scored on a 5-yard run. Flacco found Marlon Brown halfway through the 4th quarter.

Brandon Weeden looked decent throughout the game but failed to find the end zone. Both running games did not do much damage as the solid defenses on both ends made it difficult for any breakout runs. There was a scary moment in the 4th quarter when star running back Ray Rice went down with an apparent hip injury.

Overall, the game was not interesting until halfway through the 3rd quarter. The Ravens defense looked good with 5 sacks and 5 deflected passes. I expect the offense to pick up more as the weeks go on. The offense has to pick itself up if they expect to win next week when the Texans come to town.
