5 things we learned from Baltimore Ravens huge win in Seattle
5. The Ravens know how to finish:
The Ravens know how to finish a team. Two weeks in a row the Ravens have had a lengthy drive in the fourth quarter, extended their lead and made the clock the enemy of their opponent. The Ravens had a 13 play drive up 20-13 that bled time off the clock. The Ravens got the ball at their own 10 yard line. They went 96 yards down the field and made it a two score game. This is the stuff of legends.
The Marlon Humphrey fumble recovery was just the icing on the cake. The Ravens put Seattle in an almost impossible spot. In less than four minutes, the Seahawks needed to score 10 points. The fumble just gave Baltimore a more impressive victory. The Seahawks needed a miracle before D.K. Metcalf dropped that football. The Ravens know how to lock up a victory. Against the Bengals they had a similar drive. Against the Cardinals, Jackson hit a clutch third down pass for the game winning first down. In three of the Ravens five victories, they had a lead and they protected it.
The Baltimore Ravens are one of the best teams in the NFL. When they have a lead, they know how to finish a game. Take out a fluke performance to the Cleveland Browns and the Ravens haven’t had a bad game this season. The Chiefs game was a hard fought loss. The Steelers game wasn’t pretty yet it got the team a W. Look out, NFL. Here come the Ravens.
