Offense: B+
Joe Flacco played a very solid game outside of his mind numbing end zone interception throw that seemed to float in the air for a good five minutes. Cool Joe hit 9 different receivers on his way to a 76% completion percentage, and didn’t seem to mind not having Torrey Smith on the field.
The Ravens were 4 of 5 in the red zone despite having a limited Justin Forsett, though Lorenzo Taliaferro and Bernard Pierce effectively picked up the slack. Steve Smith had a good day despite a bad drop in the end zone, and the offensive line did a great job of protecting Flacco against a strong Dolphins’ pass rush.
