A Game for the Ages–Also The Greatest Roller Coaster Ride I’ve Ever Seen —Ravens Hang on and Celebrate Dennis Pitta’s Return with a 29-26 Victory over Lowly Minnesota

I was emotionally drained after this game. Three times I thought we ahd the game won and twice I felt the season was over. Some points of a game that will long be remembered:

I never remember a Baltimore football game played in more inclement weather conditions.

What a clutch play by rookie Marlon Brown,, an undrafted rookie at that. Of course I am referring to the winning TD catch from Joe.

27 had an excellent game rushing for 67 yards

CAR YDS AVG TD LG
R. Rice 17 67 3.9 0 12
J. Flacco 1 22 22.0 0
B. Pierce 7 12 1.7 0
V. Leach 1 0 0.0 0
J. Jones 1 -4 -4.0 0
Team 27 97 3.6 0 22

Oh what a difference Dennis Pitta makes. Flacco’s best buddy had 6 catches for 48 yards including a 1 yard pass from Joe.

M. Brown 7 92 13.1 1 35 11
D. Pitta 6 48 8.0 1 18 11

J. Jones 4 37 9.3 0 15 7
T. Smith 1 11 11.0 0 11 5
E. Dickson 2 8 4.0 1 7 5
B. Pierce 1 5 5.0 0 5 2
B. Stokley 1 2 2.0 0 2 1
V. Leach 1 0 0.0 0 0 2
Team 28 245 8.8 3 35 49

Why in the world did Coach Frazier attemt a short kickoff the Jacobi?

Jacobi again was a ket ingredient to the victory.

I hope it didn’t go unnoticed that the defense gave up 2 TD drives in less then a minute’. ==Almost impossible.

#84 for the Vikings—absolutely incredible.

For almost the entire 1st half, the play by play of the gamewas in Spanish. At first it bothered me a little but then after having having to suffer through the terrible Fox English speaking duo, I longed for the Spanish broadcasting team.
