Ravens vs. Cardinals: Halftime recap

For them this is a must win, but similarly for the Cardinals, games like these will also be must wins in their minds if they are to take the division this year.

During the Baltimore Ravens’ clash with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday Night Football, the Ravens trotted out an unbalanced line and ran a crafty screen play resulting in a completion to backup lineman John Urschel and a decent gain.

The Ravens meanwhile are staring into the abyss and come into today’s Week 7 game on 1-5 looking for only their second win of the season so far.

Baltimore has 56 rushing yards and Joe Flacco is 13/17 for 131 yards. The Ravens were able to add on the second quarter, marching down the field in the second quarter, with an 84 yard drive that culminated in a 14 yard Justin Forsett touchdown. Steve Smith led in receiving with 137 yards and one touchdown in seven catches. A Jeremy Ross fumble on a punt with about 4 minutes left in the half gave the ball to the Cardinals, together with an Asa Jackson unnecessary roughness penalty which put them in the red zone. Carson Palmer threw for 421 yards and one touchdown against two interceptions in 29 of 45 passes.

Johnson never touched the ground. John Brown led in receiving with 196 yards in 10 catches. Defensively, the Arizona Cardinals yield 224.2 yards in passing and 104.5 yards in rushing.
