5. Clobbering The Dolphins:

The Ravens offense exploded in their week 13 meeting with the Miami Dolphins. Dennis Pitta was the main benefactor of the offenses awakening. Pitta had nine receptions for 90 yards and two touchdowns on the day. The Ravens won 38-6. It was a day where anything seemed possible. After fracturing his hip twice, Pitta was playing sensational football.

Number 88 had a 25 yard reception in that game. It was his third reception gaining over 20 yards on the day. This game seemed like a reward for all the grueling rehab, and for all the heartbreak that Pitta had to overcome.

Pitta has never gotten the credit he deserves as being Flacco’s go to guy. We always talk about how Flacco and Boldin were the perfect match on the football field. We always talk about how Flacco leaned on Steve Smith Sr. That being said, Pitta has always been Flacco’s favorite target.
