It was a hot day in Tampa as the Baltimore Ravens traveled to take on the Buccaneers, but it was the Raven’s offense that was heating things up on the field. Joe Flacco went on to have the best statistical performance of his career, and the entire team simply had their way with a Bucs team that simply looked over matched in every aspect.
It was a refreshing bounce back performance following last week’s loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and it sends the Ravens back home with some momentum for week seven. It also allows the Ravens to pick up a half game on the AFC North leading Cincinnati Bengals, who could only manage a tie in overtime against the Carolina Panthers.
As we do each week, we have assigned a report card grade to each Raven’s unit based on their performance Sunday. While the team made things easy on us this week by essentially giving the teacher a proverbial apple, there are quite a few things to take note of after the team’s latest win. Here are your week six Baltimore Ravens grades, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers edition.
