Baltimore Ravens stun Seattle Seahawks: Handing out 3 game balls

The Baltimore Ravens went to Seattle, Washington and took down the Seahawks on their turf. Let’s hand out three game balls for this massive win.

Chalk me up as one of the media members who believed that the Baltimore Ravens would be outmatched on the road by a prestigious Seattle Seahawks team. Baltimore went into Seattle, Washington, where the Seahawks have perhaps the best home-field advantage in the entire league and popped them right in the jaw. It was spectacular.

The best part about this win was that the Ravens won on multiple fronts; most impressively on defense. The defense scored two touchdowns on a pick-six interception and a scoop-and-score fumble recovery. The unit also pressured and rattled Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and suffocated a good run game led by Chris Carson. It was perhaps the best outing by Baltimore’s defense this season.

The offense faced a good defense and played against the elements, but still played well enough to push past Seattle on the road. Lamar Jackson (more on him later) was electrifying as a runner and made some big-boy throws in the passing game, while the run game did its job in gritty fashion. The tight ends were disappointing, but the rain held all the receivers back a bit.

At the end of the day, the offense did just enough to win this game and that’s all that matters; especially when the defense plays as well as they did.

With this impressive victory comes the handing out of three game balls. Who was most deserving of these prestigious awards? Let’s start handing them out by giving our first to the only offensive player on this list…
