3 Games in 2016 The Baltimore Ravens Wish They Could Have Back

Week 6: Ravens vs. Giants

I attended this game and it was even more frustrating to watch in person.

The Ravens dominated the majority of the game and forced 3 turnovers from the Giants. They led 10-7 at halftime and could have been up by more. The defense had shut down the Giants wide receivers but corner-back Jimmy Smith left the game with a concussion.

When Jimmy Smith went out, a man named Odell Beckham Jr. took over in the 2nd half. He torched the Ravens secondary for a career high 222 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. After his game winning touchdown with over a minute left to play, he proposed to his long time partner, the field goal net.

I believe if Jimmy Smith played the second half, the Ravens would have won the game. Tavon Young and Jerraud Powers had no chance against a receiver like Beckham. The loss gave the Ravens their 4th straight after starting the season 3-0.
