Oh no, now they are ruling it incomplete, not sure I agree with that 3rd and 10 JJ had Jefferson wide open along the deep sideline, over throws him 4th and 10 Okay, in another can you believe the defense did that? Had JJ dead to rights, 3 guys all over him. He ducks under them, rolls right, just as he is being hit gets it off to Naylor, who leaps, reaches back with Wiggins all over him and catches it at the Ravens 6 yard line, 1st down 4:39 McCarthy cant find anyone, pressure forces him to run. Gets to the 5 He throws short middle to Jefferson, Smith breaks it up 3rd and goal 3:34 Hit as he throws, by Jones, ball sails out of the backfield of the endzone 4th and goal Guess what? False start #7 McCarthy to the back of the endzone, Taylor touchdown. Frankly, a closer to look sees him double clutch it and regain control but only after his feet have left the field of play. That should be incomplete. Where is replay assist now? They are going for 2 JJ throws left to Jefferson, Owuzie breaks it up 27-19 Ravens

5:35 left Guess what? False start McCarthy waits, fires over the middle for 25 McCarthy chased from the pocket forced to throw it away. But, Smith and Jones get tangled, flag down, pi on Smith, uncalled for by Smith From the Ravens 35, 5:04 Jones forces McCarthy to flee and throw it away 2nd and 10 McCarthy over the middle, Smith dives infront and makes thr interception! Wow, what a play! 4:50

7:15 from their own 13 Henry left gets maybe 1 Lamar uses all of the play clock, Riccard misses his blocks, Lamr sacked 13 and 17 Lamar from his endzone tosses it to Hill in the flat, too far, incomplete 4th down Punt from the endzone goes out of bounds 54 yards away at the Vikes 39 yard line

11 playa 67 yards 10:40 left Kickoff is to the 3, returned to the 28 Run right, no one home, runs for 13 False start again, #5 And they are at home! Pass over the middle incomplete, but flag down, make up call, pi on Smith 1st down 9:40 Just play fakes and Jones and Buchanan get him down, welcome to Baltimore Mr Jones 2nd and 13 Pass short middle good for only 3 3rd and 10 Pass deep left incomplete but pi on Owuzie, bad call. 8:37 Haven't called that all day, why now? 38 yard penalty Run left gets 2, Jenkins gets the stop running down the line, well done Pass to the left for 6 3rd and 3 Approaching 7 mins From.the 13 of Baltimore Just steps up, Jenkins tips it, Smith dives just misses picking it 4th and 3 JJ fires to Jefferson at the 2, well covered by Wiggins it falls incomplete Ravens take over on downs

From the 31 of the Vikes Henry up the middle for 8 They are wearing down thos defense 2nd and 2 Henry to the right, just slips down, had room to run forever 3rd and 1 Henry off the right gets 4 but slips down untouched Lamar using all of the play clock Sweep right for Henry gets 6 2nd and 4 Coming up on 12 mins left in the game Mitchell on a sweep right gets 2 3rd and 2, Henry back in Whistle, time out Ravens, play clock running out 11:30 left Lamar on a sweep left gets 7 to the 2 yardline Lamar rolls right, hits Andrews in the back of the endzone for a touchdown, Ravens! Going for 2 Left hash All out blitz, Lamar back pedals fires to Bateman for a good conversion! 27-13 Ravens!

Under a minute Play fake, tight throw to Hopkins in the short middle between 2 defenders for 9 2nd and 1 Henry up the middle for 6, end of the 3rd quarter

Swing pass to the right gets 13 4 mins left 3rd quarter Pitch to the right gets 11 Quick pass to Jefferson on the left for 11 Wiggins forces him out of bounds False start From the Ravens 25 Screen is attempted, well defended falls incomplete Pass to the endzone to Jefferson our new safety Gilman breaks it up 3rd and 15 Pass again to the endzone Awuzea on the coverage incomplete lots of hand fighting 4th and 15 42 yard field goal is good 19-13 Ravens

It looked like the offense was just going through the motions on that series. Now, thanks to the missed field goal, the Vikes take over, with very little time lost, right where they left off. This is how you lose games

What an atrocious series, you reward the defense for causing what amounts as another turnover and get the ball on their end of the field and come out and play lame?

Thailand is madd, yes he leveled Hamilton, 5:44 left 3rd Ravens take over at the 38 of the Vikes Pass short middle to Andrews is tipped, almost picked Henry to the right is forced to cut back up the middle for no gain 3rd and 9 A lame attempt at a wide receiver screen is incomplete What a horrible set of plays 56 yard field goal attempts is wide left.

Kickoff is to the goalie, avoids two tackles gets pas the 20, ball is knocked out AGAIN, it bounces and rolls around, Vikes can't recover, Ravens and Vikes dive onto it and it is recovered by them at the 33 Run right has several missed tackles, gets 11 False start 7:17 left 3rd quarter 1st and 15 Pass over the middle for 7 Swing pass gets 5 3rd and 2 at midfield Pass, Hamilton gets into the backfield and knocks down the pass, 4th down and 2 They go for it All day to throw, pass is broken up by Wiggins, flag down, penalty is on oops scuffle breaks out Blind side block on Theilan, which is what caused the scuffle, 15 yard added to the Ravens field position as they take over on downs Put them away now!

Okay defense, you've had a long, long rest hunt!

Kickoff it to the goalie, returned to the 23, fumbled, Ravens recover! Naked boot, noone open, Lamar scrambles for 5 Zone read, Lamar keeps it around right end, gets 3 He does not look like the Lamar of old running, I'll say that, Vike defender hurt on the play. 3rd and a ling1, short 2 Andrews lines up like a tush push, tosses it to Lamar with Henry blocking to the right, gets 3 Lamar quick fire to Bateman in the endzone, slightly behind him, Bateman can't handle it 2nd and 10 Quick throw to Bateman on the right who turns and burns tackled at the goaline Quick snap, Hill up the middle, touchdown Ravens! Do you go for 2? Nope 19-10 Ravens

This ain't the 2000 Ravens defense, field goals are not gonna do it, for shame

I formation play fake, deep passes to Likely, incomplete, but pi on the Vikes Play fake to Henry, quick pass to Flowers short left who takes it to the 33 of the Vikes Play fake again, Lamar roams right, finds Kolar who takes it to the 4 Henry up the middle for no gain 2nd and goal Lamar back to pass, under heaven pressure, goes back, dances to the right finally throws it away 3rd and goal Lamar looks, has all day, drifts back and throws it away, no one open field goal time 22 yards is good 12-10 Ravens 10:22

Vikes get the ball 1st Kickoff is to the 2 Returned to the 24 Run off the right guard for 17 Toss to the left gets 5 Naked boot to the left, Wiggins misses a tackle pass complete to Addison for 4 3rd and 1 From the 49 Pass deep, receiver falls down, Humphrey waits on it like a punt, takes his time picking a lane returns it to the 30 yard line, no flags, incidental contact with Jefferson

Not converting those redzone trips is the difference in this game. It is shocking to me how bad, the play, the play calling is this year in the redzone. Why has Mitchell had better success, albeit in just a few carries? He is quicker to the slight holes the line makes but cannot sustain. The line is the biggest issue, not giving lanes to run, no push, not sustaining blocks, not giving Lamar real time. The receivers are not getting open quickly either. On defense, as I said way above, the pocket is getting pushed, pressure is one or two steps away from getting a sack. One reason why several passes have either been tipped at the los, or knocked off target as McCarthy gets hit as he throws. Tighter coverage in this game will lead to sacks.

Kickoff is the the goal line, returned to the 20, tackled, half 10-9 Vikes 1st half stats Lamar 11 of 16 for 111 yards Henry 9 carries for 33 yards Mitchell 3 carries for 29 yards Flowers 3 for 53 yards Total yards-176 for the Ravens, 156 for the Vikes 11 first downs for the Ravens, 5 for the Vikes 17:09 top for the Ravens, 12:51 top for the Vikes

30 seconds Pass short middle to Hill for 12, they use 1 of their 2 time outs left 0 blitz show They come, Lamar hits Likely on the left for 13 who barely gets out of bounds 19 seconds Lamar looks, finds Flowers in the middle who runs for 27 and gets out of bounds 10 seconds Time out Vikes From the 25 of the Vikes, Lamar, who was told by Harbs not to hold the ball, gets planted, thankfully the defender used his entire body weight, flag for pf, 15 yards, 5 seconds left Field goal of 30 yards is good 10-9 Vikes

Kickoff is to the endzone, 3 yards deep, downed, touchback oy 1:11 left Vikes have 2 time outs Pass to the short left, tackled right away after 5 Pass deep left sideline, good coverage it sails out of bounds 3rd and 5 46 seconds JJ hit had he throws, great pressure, Jones forces the pressure, incomplete 4th and 5 Punt goes to the 5, Wester foolishly fields it, returns it to the 25, where he gets knocked into next week

This offense best wake up or they will lose this winnable game for the team.

I formation, Henry runs up the middle for no gain, no movement at all 4th and 3 fake going for it, a bad fake, time out Ravens Field goal time Best team in the league last year in the redzone sucks this year 28 yard field goal is just good, just squeaks inside the left upright 10-6 Vikes

They ruled that he was touched down back where he picked it off at the Ravens 22 I formation, Henry to the right, cuts it back to the middle for 3 Lamar cant find anyone, runs up the middle, steps out of a tackle for 9 Lamar gets jittery, for some reason, he had time, runs into a sack, but hands to the face saves him. Had Henry in the flat 1st and 10 Lamar quick pass to no where, in the direction of Likely on the right flat, incomplete Henry up the middle, cuts outside, good stiff arm breaks him free for 12 Mitchell in, takes the hand-off to the right, sprints freely for 9, fumbles out of bounds Mitchell up the middle turns on the burners to the 18 of the Vikes Sweep left for Mitchell loses 2 Screen to Flowers who gets 10 2 min warning

The pressure on the pocket is generally good but the pass coverage has not been great to that point, giving JJ a chance to unload before the pressure gets to him. The timing had just been off. On this play, the pressure forced hom to step up and he didn't see Starks lurking deep.

Run to the right gets 6, Ravens blown off of the ball JJ with time, throws to the left to Jefferson for 13 False start JJ tries to pass, pocket collapses, pass is batted down by Okoye 2nd and 15 Pass to the right for 9, just missed a sack Cover better Pass deep middle, Starks gets his 2nd pick of the season, returns it to the Ravens 45!
