Ravens-Broncos

I will be the first to admit I didn't expect the Ravens to beat the Broncos last night.  I fully expected a Broncos win.

Joe Flacco and the Ravens wide receivers made the Denver secondary look silly.  Flacco threw three touchdowns, two to Torrey Smith.  Smith beat what was Denver's best corner, Champ Bailey on both touchdowns.  Smith barely missed a 3rd when he had Bailey beat, but Flacco's pass was just a few steps in front of Smith.

Ray Rice added a touchdown on the ground, I believe his first in 4 playoff games. 

The Ravens certainly had a few calls go their way.  An interception returned for touchdown should have been negated by a pass interference call.  There were other penalties that went uncalled.

I'm happy for Ray Lewis.  He continues his final season one more week.  I'm also glad that the Ravens got to throw it in the face of ESPN, who said the Ravens had no chance of winning.

On to the AFC Championship!
