He threw for 180 yards, just 3.8 yards below his season average of 183.8 ypg.
They only sacked him 1 time which was a fraction under the pace of the Bengals' last place 17 sacks in 16 games.

So they got absolutely gouged in the running game, Jackson basically threw as many yards as he normally did, and were fractionally worse sack-wise than the pace of the Bengals last place finish.

It wasn't a good game, let alone a "flash of brilliance" or a "damn good job".

Absolutely gouged in the running game was to the tune of 162 yards, combined with 180 yards passing and they held the Ravens to a total of 342 yards with an offense doing nothing but giving the ball back.  The defense forced the Ravens to punt 4 times.  

I can't find Darius Phillips game log via PFF, but he rated something like a 90 that game as he was all over Jackson.
