So, Flacco will miss the rest of the season after starting 122 straight games in his career, the fifth longest streak in National Football League history.
In one of the ugliest games in recent memory, the Rams and Ravens traded penalties, turnovers and incompetence for most of the day. Baltimore was expected to contend for the AFC North crown this year, but with unlucky bounces and crippling injuries to key players (Terrell Suggs, Steve Smith), it has been a season to forget for Ravens fans.
A fumble by Rams running back Todd Gurley was recovered by Ravens linebacker Albert McClellan on Rams 42.
The St. Louis Rams and Baltimore Ravens duked it at in Maryland.
The game-winning kick was set up by a Case Keenum fumble as Baltimore defensive end Courtney Upshaw beat Greg Robinson around the right end and stripped Keenum. In the receiving end, Kamar Aiken had 73 yards in seven receptions while Kyle Juszczyk added 47 yards in five catches. The tackle was made by defensive tackle Aaron Donald, who drove Forsett into the turf. Keenum has 31 yards passing, no touchdown passes, no interceptions. Instead, Keenum stayed in and fumbled immediately on the next play. Flacco gave it back with a poor pass that was intercepted by Trumaine Johnson and returned to the Baltimore 49. But Keenum did not exit the field to undergo concussion protocol. Late in the first half, Baltimore had lost more yards in penalties (99) than it gained on offense (89).
