Many would argue that there isn’t even such a thing in the National Football League , and they may have a point. Five of San Diego’s six touchdowns in its first two games have come in the second half.

September has been Cincinnati’s fairest month for a long time. “It’s a very valuable thing in the National Football League, to play at home”.
“It’s not just them getting their rush”, Lofton said. His status for this week’s game against the Bengals is uncertain. This is a division grudge match, making the stakes higher, and the Ravens’ backs are against the wall. “They don’t like us and we don’t like them”.
Baltimore is undeniably in a precarious situation as it heads into its home opener with an 0-2 record, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh deflected the notion of additional urgency in Wednesday’s conference call at Paul Brown Stadium. Only the Patriots beat it. Another easier game is at the 49ers, who just got destroyed by Pittsburgh last week.
Ed asked Dave about the Bengals offense and quarterback Andy Dalton playing well to start the season. “We just have to get better”.
Both Dalton and Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco are two major factors to why Baltimore has faltered in its last three Bengals meetings.
Meanwhile, Flacco hasn’t played like to his usual self against Cincy. He has thrown 13 touchdowns, but also has 18 interceptions in 14 career games against them.
But Flacco also raises his game when his back is against the wall.
“Until you win your first game, you always have in the back of your mind: ‘Can we win a game?” f course you can. This one has them headed down that same road again, hoping for a different turn at the end. “Cincinnati’s gauntlet continues”.
The Ravens have performed below expectations so far this year.
More important than a milestone win would be the fact that the Ravens will have avoided the franchise’s first 0-3 start.
Hill supplanted Bernard as last season progressed, averaging 19.1 carries the final nine regular-season games.
A 0-2 record is not how Baltimore imagined their season starting, especially considering they had a game at the weak Oakland Raiders. Over the last 3 seasons, the Ravens have been 6-2 at home each year. “That’s such a big part of our training camp”. “Obviously, it starts with A.J”.
The Raiders withstood a late flurry by the Baltimore Ravens before backup cornerback Neiko Thorpe’s interception with 19 seconds left secured a 37-33 win.
There are opposing views to the one that Zrebiec holds. Losing to the Raiders is something to be concerned about, but at least it was not a blowout.
Marvin Jones has me excited for the 2015 season and hopeful for a potential Super Bowl run. The defense was frightful against the Raiders.
“We have great respect for them, for their coaches [and] the way they play”, Harbaugh continued. Steve Smith has been the top target, catching 12 passes for 163 yards.
On the season, the Cincinnati Bengals average 241.5 yards in passing and 151.0 yards in rushing. “Both of those things kind of go hand-in-hand”. Who would have thought Andrew Luck and the Colts would be 0-2?
They needed a fast start. The Achilles heel of the Ravens’ squad is their defense.
“The Ravens’ pass coverage missed the presence of Terrell Suggs”.
Hey, Ray, we’ve all been there.
What we don’t know: Who is Rivers’ No. 1 receiver?

“We’re not really in the business of gauging urgency”. Check it out. His complaint was about not getting enough time to identify the Patriots’ use of eligible and ineligible receivers. Geno Atkins led the defensive effort for Cincinnati, recording three tackles and one sack. Crocket Gillmore caught five times for 88 yards and two touchdowns. That begins this week in what I’m considering a must-win game for them. Publicly, Harbaugh was incensed by the Patriots formation previous year .
