Ravens go on defensive in 13-7 win over Bills

He has to utilize tight end Charles Clay more over the middle and in the red zone.

Additionally, two of the four games were played opposite the Rio Olympics. He hasn’t displayed any hesitation to move outside the pocket or even tuck the ball and run with it.

Q: Is Joe Flacco elite? With injuries to key playmakers, the Ravens seemed like a shell of their former shelves. He’s the Bills’ new quarterback hope.

– Tyrod Taylor’s conversations with his ex-teammates have pretty much ceased this week, but both sides have four years worth of dialogue to put Sunday’s game into proper perspective.

Yeah, this wasn’t exactly running back LeSean McCoy discussing his emotional return past year to Philadelphia.

Ravens kicker Justin Tucker drilled a 50-yard kick, but Jerel Worthy was flagged on the kick for using a Ravens offensive lineman for leverage when jumping to block the kick.

“They did really well shutting us down on third-down plays”, McCoy said. Duke Williams was beat on the play.

The AFC North should be a dog fight, minus the Dawg Pound. In the air the Ravens have 178 yards passing.

Buffalo pulled to within 10-7 on a one-yard run by McCoy on fourth down. “His quarterback rating previous year was very high”.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh during the first half against the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field at Mile High. Dan Carpenter missed from 49 yards out.

And so, we give you about the most interesting thing he had to say about the Ravens: “I was thankful for the opportunity Baltimore gave me as a young kid to live out a dream and play in the National Football League; thankful to the Ravens organizations, Ozzie Newsome, coach (John) Harbaugh, thankful for what they allowed me to do for their organization”.

But that was all the Bills’ offense could muster on a frustrating afternoon. The Bills were held to just 65 yards rushing. Buffalo was also hampered by mistakes, and committed eight penalties for 89 yards. Twice penalties extended Ravens drives. However, DT Marcell Dareus (suspension), LB Randal Jackson (IR), LB Reggie Ragland (IR) and DE Shaq Lawson (physically unable to perform list) will miss the game versus Baltimore as will reserve safety Colt Anderson (injured) and rookie backup cornerback Kevon Semour (injured). Jerel Worthy was hit with a leverage penalty as the Ravens kicked a field goal. “I feel like I’ve been here my whole life, my whole career”. Taylor appeared in only four games and threw a total of 34 passes, 25 coming in the last game of 2012 when the Ravens had already solidified their playoff position and sat Flacco the final three quarters of a game against Cincinnati. The Bills were 31st in the National Football League in pass attempts. All of a sudden, a DB is trying to play the hands, he doesn’t show them, then all of a sudden he shows them, and they’re on the ball. McCoy had plenty to say about that, but of course, as Taylor pointed out, “Our two departures are definitely different; we left on different terms”. “All of them can break open a game at any time”.

Games expected to start after 4 p.m. I could point out that the Jets are the only team in the division whose quarterback didn’t get suspended or whose first and second round picks didn’t go down with major injuries or who isn’t the Dolphins.

Without question, the Buffalo Bills were a possible sleeper last season under Rex Ryan.

The rematch is scheduled to be played at M&T Bank Stadium, which has a capacity of 71,008 fans. The speed that the former Heisman victor still plays with is electrifying and he’ll be just as unsafe in the return game – although his move to second string might limit his time spent with special teams.
