Joe will need to have a productive day for the Ravens to win Sunday. Houston has the #4 rush defense and like everybody, they will try to take Rice out of the game. In fact, teams have success taking Rice out of the game from time to time....for whole quarters or halfs. The inability of the Ravens offense, Joe or Cam to pick up the slack and maintain momentum during these periods is a primary reason why the offense has been inconsistent, disappeared for whole quarters and looks lethargic at times. This is the wrong time of year for that to happen. They won't be playing the Browns. The pass....the big play...that has to be present to take the heat off of Rice so that he can get back to doing what he does so well. Pull them out of the box. Force defenses to defend the whole field. Do that and the Ravens waltz into Indy. Houston is the only decent defense that Joe will face. After that the D's are terrible and Joe won't face a real defense for the rest of this season...unless the Giants miraculously make it to Indy. Therefore, get by the Texans and Joe will have the best post season of his career. No doubt about it here.
