Ravens and Joe Flacco off to great start against Jags

So they're down 11 now with 4 minutes. They drive again and kick the FG. Then they opt to not go for an onside kick and stop the Bears 3 and out. Campanero returns their punt for a TD. Flacco throws a great 2 pointer. 

Ravens stop them again and after a bad punt, get the ball on their own 44. Flacco then throws it to Wallace in the middle of the field and they can't spike it soon enough. They had to blow a TO during their FG after some dumb ass special teamer wasn't on the field, so they were out. So they can't kick a game winning FG. 

Then in overtime, Weddle misses a tackle cause he tried to strip the ball and Howard ran it for 53 yards, setting them up for a FG. 


The truly impressive special teams TD was Bobby Rainey. He hurdles over a defender during the kick off and then trips over his own guy. No one touches him so he gets up and runs it in, faking out a defender in the process. 

Exciting game in the end, just wish they didn't blow it to a QB who threw for 85 yards.

Oh wow.  Didn't realize that much happened.  I always wonder on special teams when they are one short or one too many.  Who is the guy who forgot he was on the FG team, or who is the guy who has never been on the FG team and decides to go give it a shot?
