3 plays and they at the Ravens 36

How do you blow a big lead? Well, the Ravens have done it so often we all know the answers by now right? Bad play calling by both sides of the ball/ poor execution Penalties- these either stop drives or allow the other team tonextend drives. Already the Ravens have 6 penalties just in the 1st half, most of them presnap penalties. Turn overs which include missed field goals and failed 4th down tries.. Giving the other team a short field to score just gives them hope. Quick scores- it is very difficult to shut out a team, but make them take time to score TOP Yes, this meshes with turnovers and quick scores, but there are 30 mins left in regulation, make them use a lot of clock to score. Keep the ball as long as possible, snapping the ball with less than 10 seconds on the play clock

Time of possession Ravens 22:0 Bengals 7:40 How? Ball control drives, aside from the 1st score that was done in a few plays, the Ravens were 8 for 11 on 3rd down. Conversely, the Bengals were 2 of 6 They had great pressure on Burrow, right up in his face just missin several sacks but still forcing him to either dump it down or throw it away. Great defense

46 seconds Easy 15 yards and out of bounds for Chase 41 seconds Check down for no gain but they let him get out of bounds 31 seconds Finally a sack, Mike Green gets one on a stunt Hendrickson forces a dump down Half time

The past few years the Ravens defense plays worse in the last 2 mins of the 1st half and most of the 3rd quarter. Lets us see how quickly the Bengals score

Fruit Loop time from 24 is good 13-0 Ravens These field goals will cost this team the game

1st and 10 from the Bengal 33 Henry right guard to eat some clock, gets 4 Time out Bengals (shut up JJ, they are eating clock not trying to force the Bengals to use their time outs) Had Andrews at the goal line who leaps as high as he can and cannot make the catch 3rd and 6 Finds Flowers in the left flat for 16 Henry bounces off Rose and runs around the right end for 6 Time out Bengals their last one 1:37 Henry up the middle for 2 3rd and 2 Huntley throws it just too wide for Lane who had position in the endzone

Huntley rolls right finds Bateman for 6, then takes it for 12 more and almost fumbled 2 min warning

False start again, this one on Stanley, he is good for a few each game From the 50 Short middle to Andrews who bobbles it but hangs on for 10 Henry right end for 4 3rd and 1 3 mins False start, this time on Rose he is good for 2 a game 3rd and 6 Huntley has to flee, gets 6, flags down, holding on Simpson, he is good for 3 per game 3rd and 16 At least they are eating clock, right?

Time out Bengals as they are claim their man was blocked into him. Video disproves that. Shut up JJ, He DOVE into the legs on his own Short crossing route for Flowers who goes for 22

From their 13. Boot leg Huntley runs for 6 Henry left guard for 3 3rd and 1 Hill runs right, around right end for a loss of 4 but illegal block on the defense good for +15 yards

Oh boy another crappy show with terrible joke...

3rd and 3 why isnt that grounding? Myers drops an easy 1st down 4th and 3 No answer on why it was not grounding. He was in the pocket, no receivers in the area

Burrow forced to dump it down for 7 That should be grounding

Fumble? Refs say he was down, Yeah, 11 minute drive to the 10 only to have a penalty spoil it Any who Sure, 4 guys right there let's just hit him not tackle him. 3rd and 1 qb sneak gets them a 1st

18 plays, 93 yards and 11 mins, what? Wow

Henry up the middle for 0 gain 3rd and 1 Henry hit in the backfield again, loss of 1 Field goal? Nope they go 4 it but false start on Hibner So fruit Loop time Field goal from 34 is good 10-0 Ravens

Flowers jitter bugging to the 10

Lane going down real low for another 1st down catch

Wow what a catch by Lane! Huntley rolled out to his left and found him nicely Then can't through an accurate middle screen Yeah you can't fake 2 screens and then throw the ball, timing is off, just run

Henry just cant get going, always being met at or behind the los

Ione is apparently hurt, Jones in for him, knee injury for Vega

Screen to Wester for 14, could have had more if he used the blockers to his left

Only to follow it up by trying to hit a defender in his hands

As the lady said, fires a ball to Flowers for 20
