It was more of the same for the Ravens defense. Their control of this game was never questioned, Miami’s only score came after a fumble in the second half. Lardarius Webb and Eric Weddle both had an interception, preventing a Dolphins score. The defense was dominant but that’s not the story here.

The Ravens offense put up 496 yards and five touchdown passes. Joe Flacco had 381 yards and four touchdowns. Terrance West and Kenneth Dixon combined for 106 yards on the ground. All of the sudden the Ravens had offense. A team that has made everything hard made Sunday so easy, Joe Flacco could get some rest in the fourth quarter.
