The defense being worn out has a lot to do with the offenses inablity to put together drives and the punt return rather than them giving up long sustained drives to the Ravens. Having your offense contintually go three and out to start the game puts a ton of reps on the defense. Not to mention there was a quick turn around after the punt return as well.

Actually yes all true. The defense stunk from the very first snap, letting the Rats march effortlessly down the field in a long TD drive. They only got 2 three and outs all day. The TOP imbalance really sits on the head of the defense. It isn't like they played hero ball but wore down because of lack of rest - they failed to stop the Rats almost every drive.
