Frozen fields and snow was the theme of Sunday’s game. What
started as a gritty, low-scoring game turned into a track meet in the 4th
quarter.
The Ravens looked good early, capitalizing on a Minnesota
turnover to strike first. Joe Flacco had a nice run in the first quarter,
juking two defenders and rushing down to the 3-yard line, setting up the
Ravens’ first score.
Adrian Peterson went down with an ankle injury early in the
game. Toby Gerhart took over and had some monster runs late in the game.
Other than a few field goals by the Vikings, nothing much
happened except a lot of punting until the 4th quarter started.
An astounding 42 points were scored in the last quarter with
most of them coming inside of the 2-minute warning. From then it became a
nail-biting slug fest that featured an assortment of big plays and return
touchdowns, one after another.
A controversial pass interference call kept the Ravens’ last
drive alive and they were able to score with four seconds left in the game to
put it away.
The win keeps the Ravens’ playoff hopes alive at 7-6 and
keeps them as the top contender for the 6th seed in the playoffs.
Final Score:
Minnesota Vikings – 26
Baltimore Ravens – 29
