Baltimore Game Ball

[SunsetBengal]

My initial though is Jesse Bates III. That early interception completely stole the momentum from the Ravens, and they did have the momentum going at the time. Their defense came out of the gate and quickly stoned our offense for a 3 and out, then they promptly started marching straight down field. Had Bates not made that timely interception, we likely could have been watching a completely different ball game.

So, now after giving props to Bates for his early heroics, Andy Dalton played a near flawless game. If it weren't for a couple of unfortunate drops, the offense could have easily rung up 40+ on a Raven's defense that isn't any pushover.
